Pros
Starting pay is relatively higher for fresh university graduates, regardless of what was your major, or where your degree was from. Good base entry pay, which can be used for negotiation in future jobs. 20 days of annual leave. Fellow analysts are helpful towards each other. Good pantry coffee and snack supplies. Also, having shift work means that you can focus on your side hustle, studies or skills upgrade after shift ends, you don’t take work home with you.
Cons
Manual and repetitive work is used to overcome the technical lapses of their proprietary software (ie. if Fairhair fails to pickup certain articles, analysts must MANUALLY trawl more than 100 websites to check if there is a particular report). Work can be rather manual and repetitive, which can lead to a human error that clients penalise the company for, or the lack of advanced skills development in analysts. Analysts which are dedicated to major clients (or so the client thinks) are made to serve another client in discreet; this leads to overworking the analysts, and clients are not actually given the resources they were promised.
