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.
