Pros

Pay is some of the best I've come across in the Chicago area for Sr. Analyst work Great opportunities for advancement/lateral moves Genuinely wonderful colleagues and managers - this just doesn't always translate to employee-centric or employee-friendly policies re: benefits

Cons

Vacation is ridiculously low - 2 weeks to start, another week added for every 5 years of employment. No parental leave policy (having to comply with FMLA is not parental leave) although they're looking at putting a paternity leave policy in place (still no maternity leave) Executives don't allow fully remote work - the new "flexible" policy dictates 3 days in office, 2 WFH with all employees required to be in office on Tuesdays and Thursdays

Pros

Free snacks and coffee Anonymous Employee Feedback I joined the company with a positive impression and a strong desire to contribute. Over time, however, my perception of the organization has changed significantly due to my experience with leadership and workplace culture. My primary concern is the lack of support from management. Employees need coaching, guidance, and constructive feedback to succeed, especially when learning new processes or taking on additional responsibilities. Instead, I have often felt unsupported and left to navigate challenges on my own. There is also a perception of inconsistent treatment among employees. This has created concerns about fairness and has negatively impacted morale and trust within the team. When employees believe expectations are applied differently depending on the individual, it becomes difficult to remain motivated and engaged. Communication from leadership has not always been clear or constructive. Employees perform best when expectations are transparent and feedback is delivered in a way that promotes growth. Unfortunately, my experience has often left me feeling discouraged rather than supported. While the company offers opportunities and has many dedicated employees, leadership and culture have had a significant impact on my overall experience. I believe improvements in employee support, communication, accountability, and consistency would help create a more positive and productive work environment. This feedback is shared in the hope that it will encourage reflection and positive change for current and future employees.
