Pros

The work is challenging and rewarding, and I got to work on meaningful projects that had an impact. The hours are flexible and reasonable, and I had a good work-life balance. The company provides on-boarding training and opportunities to learn new tools and techniques, such as SAS, SQL, and R. The colleagues are smart and supportive, and I had a decent rapport with my manager and team.

Cons

The pay is low compared to other data analyst positions in the Bay Area, and it took a long time to get a raise or promotion. The company has a strict in-person policy that requires employees to work from the office. The company has a subpar internal organization and communication, and sometimes the coordination between different teams and departments was slow and inefficient. The company puts limited effort to foster employee engagement or satisfaction.

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.
