Pluspunten

- Good brand as the company is quite big in the US - Smart and competent employees - Free snacks

Minpunten

- Getting promoted is tough. It often feels less about the work you do and more about who sees it. Your manager has to be your hype person; if they stay quiet, your career does too. - Job titles can be misleading. A Data Scientist might spend all day writing SQL, while a Business Analyst somehow ends up helping with machine learning. The title says one thing, the calendar says another. - Remote work is mostly gone. The laptop is still portable, but apparently you are not. - There is a fair amount of office politics. Sometimes doing the work is only half the job; the other half is making sure the right people know you did it. - Data teams do not always get the respect they deserve. Business teams often treat them less like strategic partners and more like “the people who fix the spreadsheet.”

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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!
