Pros

The coffee is free, they have a decent cafeteria.

Cons

Every ounce of accountability falls directly on the Data Analyst. If a customer sends their data late or sends the wrong data, or if the Implementation Lead adds new "issues" at the last possible minute, you will still be expected to hit the deadline, despite having far less time to do so. This can, and will lead to 30+ hour work weekends, with no compensation for your time Communication is nonexistent. You will be expected to maintain perfect records, down to the minute, of your productivity, but you will not be alerted in any fashion when a project due date changes. This makes planning and scheduling nearly impossible, leading to multiple schedule conflicts. The company invests nothing in its analysts that aren't working on their biggest accounts. No raises for the vast majority of the department, however, we hired 8 new senior vice presidents. Most forms of employee appreciation were done away with. Quarterly awards meetings, social mixers, summer fireworks shows, all gone. In addition to not investing in current employees, hiring to replace lost employees is also lacking. All of the work that was being done by an employee that departs is unceremoniously dropped on someone else's desk, whether or not they have time in their schedule for it. The hiring process is incredibly slow, apparently, as only one person was hired to replace 7 that left during my time. New hires typically flee within the first 2 years.

Pros

The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

Cons

The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
