Pros

Met some nice people but other than that none.

Cons

Worked in model validation and was made to believe it would be a data science type position in interviews. It was no such thing. Just reading and writing documentation and tons of beating a dead horse. So boring that after about a week I knew I needed out. Ancient technology Tons of reading documentation Restricted access to everything and data is all over the place and disorganized Late night meetings with people in Singapore No direction from leadership whatsoever Processes are all defined very vaguely so no one knows how anything is actually supposed to be done
