Valuable Experience, but High-Pressure Environment Led to Burnout
Pros
• Gained strong technical experience in data analysis, reporting, and dashboard creation. • Opportunity to mentor junior analysts and develop leadership skills. • Exposure to cross-functional collaboration and understanding how data supports business and regulatory decisions. • Stable company with reliable benefits.
Cons
High-pressure environment with little recognition of the time and complexity required for data work. • Leadership style was highly perfectionist and rigid, which made it challenging to deliver impactful work effectively. • Poor alignment between technical teams and non-technical management created constant stress. • The combination of pressure and lack of support led to significant mental health challenges during my time there.
