Pros

Good health insurance and free soda

Cons

The BSA team is undermanned and is constantly in a stat of chaos. The managers are good but they are constantly overruled and ignored by their leadership. The schedule for completing assignments is unreasonable and many people end up working up to 60 hours per week. Many of the experienced and certified analysts left for banks and other financial institutions where they're treated with respect.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
