Pros
Flexible work location; Wonderful leadership. Much potential for success. Management listens and values staff comments and inputs. Culture is a meritocracy with much value given to learning the basic data analytic processes and approaches. Market potential for the company is wide-open, with great potential for growth and scalability.
Cons
Project risk is highly affected by client's data quality and format as project inputs. At time of layoff, projects did not have a controlled, highly-repeatable project cycle. Ability to deliver projects varied greatly according to complexity of client's internal workflow, business process logics, as well as warehouse management system and timeclock implementation maturity. Success was contingent on understanding business analyst techniques, Boolean operations, and practical OJT. Time in one value-delivery role was the best determinant of success.
