Pros

All analysts are right out of college so at least the environment is young. You learn SPSS and excel within a few months.

Cons

Since management all started out as analysts and returning to grad school is not encouraged, all the bad management techniques got passed down throughout the years to the current management. Project timelines not managed well which means really long hours for analysts for weeks at a time. Also since there is such high turnover, projects are understaffed and you can be thrown on different projects at last minute with little clue as to what is going on. Strict rules make analysts feel like children: cell phones must be kept in cars, having to buy kitchen groceries, clean whiteboards, and having the time you entered the office written down everyday. Mangers have to tell you you can leave and don't let you know what time that will be so it makes having a life after work pretty challenging. The work is also extremely repetitive with each quarterly update. Very little is done to improve company culture since CEO sets the negative tone of the company.

Pros

Great camaraderie amongst employees, really cooperative group. Strong spirit of helping each other out to help get work done. Really get to understand and be experts in clients’ businesses. Client teams truly want to help clients make the most of the analyses and work hard to make that happen. Greater and greater responsibility is given as ability is shown. Work for very high profile clients with large marketing budgets. Affect large changes on an ongoing basis and grow clients’ businesses steadily. Exposure to a wide range of client’s organization, from junior to the most senior.

Cons

Workflow can be hard to predict ahead of time, particularly when delivering against client needed timing, which doesn’t move much despite delays in receiving needed information.

Pros

None, this company is dead

Cons

Thank god this company went defunct. Don’t think the actual founders knew what analytics is. They would make up numbers but using logic from the 1990s or the early 2000s.
