Pros

literally none i can think of

Cons

For the size of this company, the way reports are run is an absolute joke. There is absolutely no tech stack whatsoever; meanwhile, the leadership is requiring tableau dashboards to be implemented, so analytics folks are manually uploading excel files they pull from the reporting environment into a shared location for tableau to pick up. Reporting environment is frequently unavailable until mid afternoon, meaning Monday reporting can't even be addressed until at least 2 pm. Probably the most unintelligent, unresponsive colleagues I have ever worked with. This is typical with legacy European companies, but this is by far the worst. Apparently the leadership of this company don't believe in buying any tech products, thinking they can make something better themselves. The hubris of this thinking alone is infuriating!!! There are so many good products out there that can make things easier and better, but instead, they'd rather hire a bunch of bodies to pull and create manual excel reports. You will not learn anything while being here. To top it off, the turnover is insane, causing constantly changing priorities and report requests.

Pros

- Generally, helpful co-workers. - Strong / iconic brands with dominant market positions. - Meta partnership / Smart Glasses is an exciting growth area. - Privilege of making incorrect business decisions that still yield positive outcomes.

Cons

- Low technology stack leading to many manual processes that are ripe for some level of automation. All work is basically conducted in Excel. - Company is extremely retrospective in its internal reporting versus focusing on predictive and prescriptive analyses that could be more value add. - Rank has its privilege mindset - Upper management lacks accountability for its decision making, putting the onus on lower level analysts to justify their business decisions which, many times, are made based on pre-conceived notions prior to any analytical rigor. - Similarly, many senior leaders can be abusive and outright disrespectful, which lead subordinates to take an "emperor has no clothes" philosophy when dealing with them. - Culture of fire drills with respect to assignments leading to unrealistic deadlines for critical work which compromises quality and completeness. - Company, many times, confuses tactics with strategy. - Poor communication with respect to all aspects of the business. Teams generally work in silos and crucial information is shared on a need to know basis.
