There are also tons of opportunities for professional development to understand the business and succeed in other areas of the company. Their database of procedures are also helpful in start working.
Cons
Management is not very inclusive: does not make minorities feel included, treats younger employees as robots rather than technological innovators and learners. There was a large divide between young analyst and older managers, with much gossip going on about their own employees. Workload from multiple managers are thrown onto analyst with no solid coordination. Many of the employees of color on the team have either moved to other departments with in the company or left the company altogether, due to bad management. The team is majority Caucasian and managers are not given any sensitivity/diversity training or are aware of the way the treat their employees. Many consultants have come in to have "strength-finder" workshops that contribute nothing to the management or incentives of working (other than food) and disrupt the daily duties of work. Technology is extremely slow and outdated. The applications used have outages frequently and more so than other workplaces.
