Pros

There is a reasonable work life balance here. If you enjoy a very well-defined job where you can follow a precise set of steps in order to complete the required work as an analyst then that can be considered a plus

Cons

Underappreciated work and poor morale affected the quality of work. Innovators beware, this is not a place that values innovative ideas. You are measured against a very precise set of metrics, this can be good for some, and bad for others. Management attempts to create competition amongst employees in order improve efficiency, in the end, this creates more animosity and less efficiency.

Pros

Great work-life balance. Decent benefit.

Cons

They don't pay you much. They don't treat engineers as profession. They think engineers are all the same and can swap any of them them with joiner engineers or contractors. They thought they can hire a contractor for 4 months for a project. They took a full month to get a laptop for a contractor, took one more month to get them through onboarding, then took one more month to get them use to the codebase, then the contractor wrote one line, then the 4 months was up. We had to repeat the process with a new contractor.
