Pros

- Growth Opportunities are abundant - Opportunity to try at least 3 different things across 3, 8-month rotations. Supervisory positions, travel teams, analytical roles are available. You get what you put into the program, so network your way into great rotations. - Management is receptive to new ideas, and is generally very skilled and good at what they do. - Benefits are affordable and good. (Healthcare, 401K, etc.) - Opportunity to win an impact award (after you work for one year) This is $1000 for nominees, $5000 for the finalist, and $10,000 for the winner. (excluding taxes)

Cons

- The unofficial work day on-site is 12 hours long. You will often work longer hours on-site than you would working from home. - Frequent travel if you're on a travel team. This is fun for a while, but some weeks it just gets old. - Lower pay until you complete the program no matter how much value you bring to the table. You get normal annual pay increases, but they aren't the best. You'll start to make better money after the program. - You can only accrue 1.5x PTO days before they stop accruing, and anything over one year goes away at year end.

Pros

Great coworkers and talented engineers who genuinely support one another. Opportunity to work on impactful projects and solve real business problems. Exposure to modern BI and data technologies. Strong team members who are willing to go above and beyond to deliver results. Good learning opportunities for self-motivated individuals.

Cons

Leadership and management style can create unnecessary stress and turnover risk. Frequent micromanagement and excessive focus on responsiveness rather than outcomes. High meeting volume reduces time available for focused engineering work. Priorities and stakeholder commitments are sometimes established before consulting the engineers responsible for delivery. Limited trust in experienced employees and their ability to manage their own work. Internal growth and mobility can feel restricted. Work-life balance can be impacted by shifting priorities and urgent requests. Lack of recognition or compensation alignment when additional onsite expectations or workload demands are introduced. Having a non-technical BI manager overseeing technical engineering work can sometimes result in unrealistic timelines, misunderstandings of development complexity, and decisions being made without sufficient technical input.
