Pros
The office is sleek and modern. Fish tanks line the walls and the glass door conference rooms create an open atmosphere. The kitchen has a lot of healthy snacks and 3 free meals a day is a luxury most other offices don't have. The people for the most part are all really nice and there is a good feeling of camaraderie amongst a lot of the younger analysts. The salary and the benefits are second to none and the global company events like the New York summer picnic as well as philanthropy are amazing.
Cons
Ok, here it goes. This office is a sinking ship. The entire department is an outdated mix of 20+ year analysts who are so complacent in their current roles that the first whisper of automation makes them cringe with the thought of losing their jobs. The attrition rate among younger employees is astronomical as they realize within 6 months of being there that this is the biggest waste of time and effort since their freshmen year art elective. If you enjoy working with data, and by that I mean entering digit after digit without giving any thought whatsoever to what it means, and who uses it, then send in your resume their looking for people like you. There is no room for growth, although they will tell you differently through all the different seminars and information sessions. You start in data, you will end in data, unless you actively look for something better outside the company. And the reason for that brings me to my final point... The upper management of Global Data in Princeton, NJ is the most inept, unintelligent, smug, condescending, bureaucratic, and just downright incompetent bunch of individuals to run a department. Most of them have been there since the building was opened, which somehow legitimizes there sense of entitlement. They preach transparency and collaboration yet they offer no insight and no growth opportunities, unless that means making their jobs easier so they have more time to talk about little league in the kitchen. They pick favorites with a nice smile and they let the rest fend for themselves. If you have any sense of self-worth, keep searching Glassdoor for jobs.
