Pros

Nice pantry, free food; Great place to meet young talents from all over the world; Salaries and benefits are good as a graduate role; Quick and supportive visa sponsorship for those who really want to stay in the UK

Cons

*I have read all the stories in the reviews of Analytics, and sadly every single incident mentioned is true. I recommend all the candidates read the piece of review titled "Analytics- the joke of jokes". That's a good example-think carefully before you decide to join. Too much politics; You get bullied until 1) you quit 2) you grow into the same kind of devils and then bully others; The micromanagement there is insane: 1) you get asked 20 questions of what exactly your sickness is if you feel sick and want to leave work at 5.30pm which is only 30 mins earlier. Of course after all that battling you will finally get some empathy at 5.45 and go home! 2) careful with everything you write down in the chatting system and emails- they are watching. 3) let along they watch when exactly you enter and leave the office, how many minutes you have left your desk, and whenever whoever wherever of everything!

Pros

Free Food. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner is covered. Good Benefits.

Cons

Work is repetitive. Data entry all day. No transferable skills. Flat Structure. No Room for growth. There are people there that have been in the same position for 20 years. Add that along with the sheer Nepotism that goes on in this place. it's a old boys club in the Skillman office. The dusty old men there will literately stop you in the hallway/bathroom/cafeteria just to make you suck up to them. It's worst than high school if you are not down with the clique. If you have any drive or self worth this not the place for you. The petty politics and repression will crush you if you allow it. You will be exploited until you get fed up and just quit. I honestly believe that is embedded into the culture in the Skillman office and Management wants it that way.

Pros

Great product in the core of the financial industry. Plenty of opportunities to expand your knowledge, although that comes at a cost since you're constantly overworked. Hours are fixed but you'll work every second you're in the building and will feel guilty when taking a short pause.

Cons

There is a culture of micromanagement. There's barely time to think or breathe for that matter. Department is seriously understaffed and that explains the high rotation.
