Pros
Get promoted quickly - lots of opportunities to do good work. Certain teams and certain clients have healthy work culture. There are some nice clients where they understand that the team is human and it's okay if the team makes mistakes. A lot of the junior level employees are nice, intelligent, and collaborative. Rick Greenberg is a nice person and I can tell that he truly cares about the company.
Cons
Racism from senior management - I agree with another review somewhere. I have also been a victim of racist microaggressions from senior management. Most of management are actually nice people but some leads (perhaps from the client solutions department) has been hostile and passive aggressive to minorities for the longest time and to my knowledge, have still not been trained to act professionally at work to this day. There were multiple occasions I was criticized for presentation skills and it was specifically implied that I didn’t talk “white” enough. The DEI team is a theater. They once had a DEI "forum" where everyone except for one person was white. That is not the way that we encourage minorities to speak up. Certain clients are toxic and management will NOT push back against them. They will stand on the client's side and just watch as the team is overworked. Leadership will then eventually be shocked that the entire team has quit. There was a certain client that berated the team every week in meetings and leadership just stood there and watched for months. I don’t know who needs a reality check but if you pay people 60-80k, please do not expect them to work 60 hours a week and deal with toxic clients. People can find better jobs out there with the skills that they have. Blatant lack of technical leadership in the MA department. I was shocked that no one knows the most basic statistics concepts like how and when to set up a t-test or how to explain R-squared. Instead they only throw around buzzwords like "statistical significance". There are managers in the department who do not know how to use basic SQL (the "group by" function). I was honestly in shock that these people are managers or above and do not know most of the knowledge that you'd expect from a manager. As a result, some junior level employees leave because there’s nothing left for them to learn. Constant, constant Slack messages. I got slack messages from 8 am to 8 pm and there are truly no boundaries. People expect you to respond right away. I sat next to my laptop every day after work just in case I got a message. I checked my Slack app every 5 minutes when I went on my daily walk.
