      Pros

      What you do matters. You analyze fraud and you see real results

      Cons

      The hours are intense and there is no overtime. The turnover also makes it difficult to grow departments. Work/Life balance is extremely difficult.

      Pros

      - The work is intellectually engaging and gave me many chances to grow technically. - I learned a lot from talented coworkers and appreciated being part of projects with real-world relevance. - There was also good exposure to translating technical work into clear, usable takeaways.

      Cons

      - The work can be intense and detail-heavy, and deadlines can sometimes feel demanding. - Priorities may shift quickly, which can make it hard to plan ahead. - At times, the volume of revisions and fast pace can be stressful.
