Pros

Money was okay when the market was good.

Cons

This company is a cult. Everything is meant to brainwash you. They make you feel like leaving them would be the worst mistake of your life. Long hours with no compensation if you don’t produce (no one is producing in the current market). Overtime is paid in half time somehow. Every hour past 40 I was earning half of the hourly rate. Advancement in the company is an illusion. A good market allows for growth but it’s all taken away the minute the market is bad. Your whole position is extremely volatile and to a certain extent completely out of your control.

Pros

Strong technical stack and real ownership of enterprise reporting. Complex servicing and NPL data gives senior analysts room to build governance, dimensional models, and end-to-end pipelines with genuine business impact. Skilled peers and access to large regulated datasets (FNMA, FHLMC, HUD) that sharpen your craft.

Cons

Heavy reliance on undocumented legacy systems that fall on individual contributors to reverse engineer. Knowledge concentration creates single points of failure and inconsistent handoff when people leave. Org changes and shifting priorities can outpace documentation and process maturity.
