Pros

You meet smart people. They come and go.

Cons

Completely subjective review process. No work-life balance. They talk about it, but when you stop dedicating your whole life to work, then you are not having enough global impact...

Pros

Working with truly big datasets and ability to use advanced techniques Cutting edge database/stats tools Relaxed environment with no deadlines and pressure

Cons

slow-paced, no clear objectives and not goal-oriented - may feel more like a uni environment than a real work multiple teams doing the same tasks - which leads to internal competition and politics rather than focusing on external clients too many layers of management most project don't lead to any noticeable impact and don't align with company strategy - the emphasis is on 'PR' aspect to make the manager/team look good (you spend far more time on presenting/ improving the power point slides than actual analysis or work)
