Pros

The only thing that was good was the pay. The salaries are higher than what most companies dole out.

Cons

Work life balance goes for a toss. Timings are between 2 pm and 11 pm ( often extends well beyond 1am) , no employee development, most of the analytics work is data mining and creating reports ( for which they need not recruit from the best b schools) , the US analytics office treats Indian employees as if they have no brains and send all repetitive, data mining work to India. Analytics is more or less data mining . Don't be fooled by the puzzles and highly intellectual questions posed in the interviews or the number of rounds of interviews.

Good work life balance. Decent benefits.

Cons

Leadership team is sub par. They can’t stick to any long term plan. Way too much politics.
