Pros

The department uses up-to-date financial software, including Hyperion and SAP Business Warehouse. Knowledge of these software programs will help you build a corporate finance career.

Cons

This was absolutely the worst work environment I could ever have imagined. There were no real opportunities for growth and performance reviews and feedback were not objective. Managers lacks integrity and professionalism. Training is virtually nonexistent. Input from management is demoralizing, as opposed to constructive. Mentoring is only available for a select few. The job is misrepresented as a "financial analyst" role. "Financial systems analyst" may be a more appropriate title. The focus of the department is on data mining, as opposed to analysis and interpretation.

Pros

Large Stable company, decent benefits, provide social gathering opportunities for remote employees.

Cons

Communication is not the best. from leadership down or between departments. Perception is valued higher then performance. Under stress people may turn hostile and the leadership is not equipped to address in well. In case of my manager some of the expectations were not reasonable.
