good fi
Pros: Hours are good compared to banking etc. The job is billed as 9-5 for analysts although a workweek averaging around 50 hours is more common. Work is slower in the summer which is a plus. Generally relaxed atmosphere. Promotions occur on a standard timed basis, e.g. 2 years to senior analyst, 3 years to manager, 3-5 years to manager etc.
Cons: Relaxed atmosphere and good hours comes at a cost of compensation. Hard for analysts to take agency over work or distinguish themselves quickly. Work can sometimes get repetitive. Workflow is decentralized. Often you will have several projects going on, each with a different manager.
