- Absolutely no work life balance; analysts are expected to stay up late, wake up early, and work weekends to meet unrealistic deadlines on projects that are severely understaffed. The company continues to bring on new business when current employees are already overworked. You will be lectured if you’re only working 45 hours a week. Had to cancel plans multiple times after work as management has no regard for/doesn’t care about your personal time.
- Compensation is horrible, especially considering most analysts are working AT LEAST 60 hours a week. Combine the low pay & long hours and you’re basically making minimum wage. They take advantage of new college graduates who have never worked a full time job and try to convince them that this is the norm.
- Skills are non-transferable; all platforms used are proprietary (aside from excel)
- No one can really explain how the models work which made it extremely difficult to learn and understand the job. Onboarding does not prepare you for the job at all. You’re then thrown into projects with little to no direction, thus the results are extremely questionable. Mathematics used are not sound. If you care about the integrity of your work then this place is not for you.
- Way too much emphasis on “optics” rather than making sure projects run smoothly and employees are happy.
- Don’t be fooled by the “unlimited PTO”. They will decline your request or ask you to cancel your vacation when a project is behind timeline at no fault of your own. The company basically owns you and if you try to set boundaries you will be penalized.
- 401k match is vested over 5 YEARS. I only know a handful of analysts/senior analysts who have made it past 1.5 years.
- Turnover is extremely high which results in long hours while roles are backfilled and new hires are onboarded (so basically indefinitely). Working late nights and weekends leads to burnout and thus, more turnover, and the cycle continues.
