Pros

They pay you money I guess

Cons

I was a data analyst for about a year, but left as soon as I possibly could. I'll just be upfront here - I'm a white woman, and this was a place for Indian men. Almost my entire department was Indian. Really set the culture of the place - I was supposed to be a super meek little woman, without opinions. Racist (against white people) and sexist place - at least in the data analyst sphere. Yikes - stay away! This was such a shock - this was my second job and my previous company had been wonderfully supportive of women, so this was just so weird to me. I was specifically told to hang back, not speak in meetings, not take initiative, etc. When I had the experience, creativity, and intelligence to really make a difference. Such a weird place, the data analyst environment. A real blip on my resume - haven't had any other issues in my career, so I do think it's them, not me.

Excellent benefits Great community, major opportunities for growth

Cons

The training process can be challenging due to the volume of information and the absence of a dedicated trainer, though the team is supportive and committed to helping new employees succeed.

Pros

Pay can be decent compared to GovCon. Some people are a pleasure to work with. Other non-pay related incentives.

Cons

Never heard more nonsensical topics during meetings; people sharing their sexual preferences, flaunting overly dramatic personal lifestyle decisions, diversity to the point of failure, etc. Hearing the term "white guilt" in a professional setting was, well, pretty unprofessional. Stack ranking for performance reviews is a mess. Someone has to have an "F" regardless of their performance because that is what their line of business is allotted. Be prepared to be held responsible for actions any Sr Leadership would just sweep under the rug under their own circumstances. If a manager doesn't like you, regardless of your productivity, you're toast unless you're able to find another LoB to support. HR / AR are just a check in the box and will most likely point you from one to the other and back again without resolving any issues. You'll find yourself curious as to what leadership does as they continue to scrape managerial responsibilities from their plate, to yours. Last but certainly not least; you may find yourself working hard on a project; nights and weekends, just in case that work life balance is feeling a little too perfect. Fret not, someone will surely assist in taking credit for the hard work you've put in. I'm sure none of these things will happen to you, though. Best of luck!
