If you are not from top school, they'll give you a hard time

Analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits and work environment; flexible schedule; no need to use "paid time off" when you need to go doctor's appointment; many chances to take company paid dining out and free food; company paid "FUN DAY";

Cons

work overtime without overtime pay; management and leadership is very unreasonable demanding; young people are oftentimes snobby, since most of them are B or worse students from top schools; very tough interview screenings; People pretend to know everything and like blah blah blah......

Great company.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Talented group of people. Company strategy and senior leadership has been spot on. Excellent career development with opportunities to rotate. Company invests in associates, and there's good work/life balance.

Cons

Performance management system is overwrought and time consuming. At it's worst can contribute to decision paralysis and discourage innovation.

Fun, lively working atmosphere with varied job roles

Business analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people to work with, all intelligent and deserve to be there. Shorter working hours compared to most jobs Job roles vary from borderline pure marketing to statistical quant type job. Relaxed working atmosphere in open plan office. Often social events and 'fun days'. Sometimes large project work, other times quick business cases. Promotions done merit based Good pay for location

Cons

Very little work interaction with people in associate level job. May only have 1 or 2 meetings a week and they mainly will be with direct manager. Feel like sometimes you can't have as large an impact as you might want until you get to manager level (2 promotions up)
