Pros

- Some really smart young people at the Lead Analyst level and below - Good office perks such as free food, beer etc

Cons

- Long hours for high performers - Lack of accountability for certain people - Low performers just get less work and still get recognized the same as high performers (all you have to do is tell your director how busy you are all the time and they won't question you) - Big problems with nepotism / favoritism (newsflash, its not the high performers who are the favorites) - Disconnect between Directors and above and everyone below - Review process is terrible and leveling guide they have created to "develop you" is just a tool they use against you - Clear DEI abuse favoring women within the analytics org
