Pros

a lot of good, very hard working and stressed co-workers and lower level people. Benefits are decent but they are declining fast.

Cons

Long 70 - 80 hour work weeks in certain areas, all of the former, top level staff have left, and the outsiders who have replaced them doubtfully have the knowledge and skill to replace that talent. Stress in some areas is intense, and the leadership is chaotic. They've switched to this formulaic goal achievement mess for reviews which is a huge waste of time.

Pros

You have the opportunity to see the direct impact of your work across different locations and interact with people from a wide range of backgrounds. The role also allows you to build strong, genuine relationships with colleagues working alongside you day to day.

Cons

There is a noticeable lack of transparency within the organization. Communication from senior team members can be inconsistent, and at times feels misaligned with their actions. Recognition and positive feedback are limited, particularly outside of established internal circles. The company’s technology and processes can be outdated and overly complex, which can hinder efficiency. Additionally, the organizational structure is quite hierarchical, and there appears to be limited initiative from leadership to drive meaningful change. The role often extends beyond typical analyst responsibilities, requiring significant emotional labor in addition to technical work.
