- Finance company parading around as a "tech" company. Big push to hire tons of software engineers and go "digital," but I have my doubts that this will ever affect the bottom line.
- I have a great team, but it's such a large company that everyone's experience is different. For a company that claims to be a "tech" company at heart, we're really slow to adapt new technologies. It took awhile just to get one Tableau license.
- Rich Fairbank might be ADD. He demo'd Tableau one day (This was before my time so it's a second-hand story) and it was all the rage, now I hear they're pushing SAP Lumira as the BI tool of choice.
- Base pay is definitely below market for Data Analysts and Data Scientists despite a lot of these people having very valuable skills. (some combination of Python, SAS, Shell, SQL, HBase/Hadoop and R) Richmond, VA or Plano, TX pay is alright when adjusted for Cost of Living, though.
