Pros

The team leads, supervisor, management (not associate/director level), and other analysts were what made the work enjoyable.

Cons

There is no work life balance, staff numbers/resources deplete without replenishment and do more with less. The pay amongst the same positions is inconsistent. New hires that often have less experience than current employees begun at a salary $5,000k more for the same job, without reason. Associate Director level and above does not understand how to complete/perform most of the analyst job tasks. However, they bark (delusional) workload expectations and advise they expect daily overtime of each analyst - but yet they refuse to work past 4pm.

Internal Re-Alignment

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Start up in this company is still in alignment and has proven to be a challenge for study start up. I look forward to when the company has internal systems figured out and adjusted, it'll just take some extra time and adjusting for the teams and start up always feels the heat.

Cons

The annual job reviews were not great and resulted in not great bonuses, reflecting the challenges of the overall company. Less personalized and sadly executive leadership hasn't taken into consideration the great People Leaders that they have and included them in developing/adjusting to the new internal structure as much as we all had hoped.
