Pros

Some of the best data professionals I’ve ever worked with. The standard of work here is great, and there is so much to learn from the people here. Work life balance is respected, though there are definitely some busy periods. A lot of upper management have families and are very understanding of being flexible with one’s schedule Interesting clients who trust us a great deal Company values are evident in the way they treat their employees

Cons

Some projects can be improperly staffed, which makes the manager or high performing ICs shoulder the burden of figuring out a solution It sometimes feels like a startup, which can be a pro (flexible, quick to adapt), but also a con (can be asked to do much more than your job description). Though you’re only expected to log 40 hours a week, with breaks and refractory period between meetings it can easily feel like a 50hour work week on the regular.
