Pros
- Entrusted with tasks and encouraged to improve existing processes - Significant exposure to upper management - Many learning opportunities and cross-team interactions - For the most part, the finance team has some quality people - Good work/life balance - Good benefits
Cons
- Can be overwhelmingly big and takes time to understand all the process flows - Some senior analysts can be tricky to work with, i.e. they either like you and things are great or they don't and make life hard (I had both experiences) - It's both a pro & con, but there is a lot of internal movement between teams; one day you're working with someone and the next you find out they moved to a different team and you're now working with someone else. That's good for exposure and creating a dynamic culture that doesn't get boring, but can be tricky as well
