Pros

My coworkers (as in, most of my fellow analysts) were absolutely fantastic. The location also isn't that bad.

Cons

As far as my projects go, while I was there the pursuit of data quality dropped off drastically, to the point where there was no standard protocol for quality control. I also was not allowed any communication with my client. There were also no opportunities for publications or presentations despite being told during my interview that there would be. As far as management, I felt overwhelmingly disrespected and disregarded as an employee, despite the fact that my job performance was never subpar. They also changed policies for no reasons and often without communicating it to employees until we were already in violation of them. They also constantly told us that they had "open door policies" regarding complaints, but really there is no HR department there to voice complaints to, and because the company is so small, I felt like I couldn't voice my concerns for fear of repercussions. I also felt like I had no opportunities for advancement in the company or in my career.

Pros

• Chance to work with smart and dedicated analysts • Decent benefits package for a small company • Ability to work on multiple projects and gain valuable experience rapidly • Very interesting projects • Physically comfortable office space

Cons

• Very difficult to work with management on day to day basis due to micromanaging style. Managers would check in frequently on small tasks, even as often as 3-4 times per day, even about selecting colors for spreadsheet tables. • Expectations were constantly changing – far beyond the iterative nature of analyses. • Employees’ input into discussions was not valued or utilized unless that input was in agreement with management. • Experienced a revolving door of employees. • Analysts had limited interaction with clients. • Management talked a lot about company values – transparency, integrity – but it rarely felt like these principles were being put into practice by the managers themselves. • Efforts to encourage morale and excitement among the analysts felt forced because of the lack of effort to make actual changes to project processes and practices.
