Cons: - Unable to retain employees past the Associate level.
- Lack of work/life balance.
- Compensation is lacking compared to other tech companies.
- Lack of diversity.

Analyst Program is unhelpful
Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
January 11, 2025
Pros: 2 years of safety. You are extremely unlikely to get laid off during your time as a SWE in the analyst program.
Cons: Because you rotate every 6 months, you don't develop any strong skill sets. By the time you get a final placement, your team is decided by the business needs rather than your preferences.
