Pros
Direct interaction with clients Good mix of MBAs, Engineers, Economists and Statisticians Innovations and initiatives are encouraged You get an overview of different domains apart from the one you're working on
Cons
With explosive growth, Fractal, which once used to be an exclusive club, seems to be diluting the quality of employees Fractal needs to seriously consider revamping the Human Resources and Information Technology divisions to deliver against the growth phase they are currently going through Fractal middle-layer management does not seem competent enough to handle large teams Project allocation is arbitrary which results in a massive loss of intellectual potential FTE model in some teams restricts intellectual growth since the learning curve becomes flat in a matter of months, and movement across projects/teams is difficult Fractal accepts a great amount of reporting work resulting a greater dissatisfaction You will not be satisfied here if you are looking to do real analytics Most work here is 70% data processing, 20% reporting and 10% domain knowledge Payscale is abyssmal
