Pros

There are no Pros unless you're part of the "Favoritism" group. They tend to play favorites.

Cons

1.) No merit increase 2.) Managers play favorites 3.) My direct supervisor ran an analytics team without knowing anything. A lifeguard who couldn't swim. 4.) Did not care what you had to say unless you're part of the "Favoritism" group. 5.) Only gave a lot of attention(flirtatious) to the female on the team. 6.) All the good analyst left for another job due to toxic team member and managers 7.) How can they evaluate how good your skills are if they don't know the skills themselves??? It's like giving a grade in Calculus when you don't even know how to do Algebra.

Pros

Good team and good cafeteria

Cons

-micromanagement heaven -you want a promotion? Too bad a DEI hire from outside the company is going to take it instead -they love pulling the rug from under you with a new comp plan “to match industry standards”. -they treat their processors like they’re kids in a sweat shop so the processors have no incentive to care about your file (they give them peanuts as a quarterly bonus) -they have RCT spies to watch everything you do and snitch to your manager/ set your lunches / decide if your time is approved -they act like it’s the best place to work but it’s absolutely not
