Terrible career option unless you are desperate

Business Outlook

Pros

A variety of projects but beware you will be asked to gerrymander results to fit the needs of your industry clients

Cons

Just read some of the lengthier scathing reviews on here and that about sums it up. Really high turn over. The good people leave fast and the lame ducks with no other options stick around to become managers
