PM makes it bad

Pros

Good wlb, minimal in person requirements in NYC, pretty well tech enabled in my role, salary is good compared to everywhere but big tech

Cons

As others mention, performance management is a huge game and drives the culture. PM is itself stressful but it also permeates into everything, so much of your time is devoted to work that only exists so that your manager has something to talk about during PM. Also other people will try to rope you into projects that only exist for their PM narrative. For me this has become very frustrating and demoralizing over the years

Pros

offering exposure to modern stacks (AWS, Snowflake, Python) and large-scale data challenges. highly competitive base pay for analysts, complemented by an excellent 401(k) match positive work-life balance with flexible hybrid work policies.

Cons

projects sometimes face slower timelines due to regulatory compliance and internal "red tape" our day-to-day culture significantly depends on your specific Line of Business (LOB) and manager
