Pros

Good benefits, kind people, $15 an hour with benefits.

Cons

The people working there are wonderful, kind and very hard working. They are also at large, very unhappy; from what I've seen. It's consistent tedious work, in a facility that is all business and no comfort, so over time it seems as if many bare minimus are neglected. The personalities here question themselves a lot and learn they would rather be doing something else despite being afraid to leave because of the financial landscape outside. This keeps them around. I got to know the people there very well, and they all seemed to be sad to some extent. They felt unsupported by the higher ups and unmotivated to improve because there wasn't anyone fighting for them or offering raises over the years. I had no motivation to stick around. Work is very much prioritized over comfort, happiness and safety. This contributes to a feeling of neglect. It was a helpful job in the moment, but I wouldn't want to make a career in the place over a long period of time. It's a passionless job environment, and it shows in the people who work there.

Pros

- Generally, helpful co-workers. - Strong / iconic brands with dominant market positions. - Meta partnership / Smart Glasses is an exciting growth area. - Privilege of making incorrect business decisions that still yield positive outcomes.

Cons

- Low technology stack leading to many manual processes that are ripe for some level of automation. All work is basically conducted in Excel. - Company is extremely retrospective in its internal reporting versus focusing on predictive and prescriptive analyses that could be more value add. - Rank has its privilege mindset - Upper management lacks accountability for its decision making, putting the onus on lower level analysts to justify their business decisions which, many times, are made based on pre-conceived notions prior to any analytical rigor. - Similarly, many senior leaders can be abusive and outright disrespectful, which lead subordinates to take an "emperor has no clothes" philosophy when dealing with them. - Culture of fire drills with respect to assignments leading to unrealistic deadlines for critical work which compromises quality and completeness. - Company, many times, confuses tactics with strategy. - Poor communication with respect to all aspects of the business. Teams generally work in silos and crucial information is shared on a need to know basis.
