Pros

Good opportunities to get involved right away. Often times an Analyst can work directly with a Principal on a project team. In this setup, an individual can learn a lot right away.

Cons

An analyst should expect to work long hours. There is a general feeling that senior management does not respect an analyst's time. The annual review process is not very transparent, and many junior level staff are ultimately left confused about their rating. High performers are not awarded given their contribution, causing many to leave for better opportunities elsewhere.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
