Business Outlook

Pros

The Transaction Analytics team in San Diego is a mature group with a lot of smart people. There was opportunity to work on several interesting projects. The work - life balance was good. Management generally gave people opportunities to work on different things to help you grow as a scientist. The group is continuing to evolve internal processes to adopt more Big Data technologies, although the current development stack is not there.

Cons

Compensation is only average. Limited growth opportunities unless you make a significant contribution (e.g. patent / brand new process).
