Once you get your one year experience, get out! It’s not worth the stress and dealing with the incompetent management to stay longer. As a former employee, I have seen a lot. I suffered through a couple of years with them and seen the company go from being a decent place to a place from HELL. The employee turnover is very high. Management turnover is also pretty high. They fired all the good people that made the place worth working at. Unless you are buddies with the right upper management personnel, your job is not safe and there is a risk of losing your job. Management works their employees hard. Pay is not fair. Management is more interested in meeting their monthly revenue than anything else. They will put pressure on even entry level analysts to get as much work done as soon as possible to get the monthly revenue amount. Management is also willing to compromise data quality (i.e. write a narrative down justifying the crappy QC results) if it means that they will be able to report the data to the client on time. If you report on time, they get paid the full amount. Late data = less pay for the company. Getting a promotion is rare and the pay isn't fair to the extra work you will be given. If management makes an error, they will figure out a way to blame you, the analyst, when in reality its managements' fault that mismanaged or made a bad decision on something. Stand up for yourself, and they will work you really hard until you screw up which may give them a good enough reason to fire you. They use this tactic because they have been sued in the recent past for firing people without just cause. So now they do what it takes to allow them to fire people legally so they have a solid case. Again, don’t stay longer than you have to!!
