Pros
* Decent tools * Mostly supportive coworkers at L3 level and below * Fairly organized data
Cons
There are some serious bias issues here, and the evaluation criterion makes that bias thrive. There really aren't any solid metrics for evaluating analysts, and it's sort of based on how well you play the political game and cozy up to managers with a lot of say. There's also very little support for growth and development, and if you try to support others outside of your team it will backfire for you because it's "taking away from revenue-driving work." Although, that critique seems to be arbitrarily applied. Some of the analytics leadership also has very little experience actually doing the job of an analyst, and thus they are clueless on how to actually support and evaluate individuals. It's a shame, because there were a lot of really great people at this company that I wish were more supported.
