Pros

Leadership is supportive and encourages innovation in analytics within the framework of very transparent objectives and goals. A result of this transparency is autonomy to achieve objectives without micromanagement. There are also regular opportunities to engage with clients and industry leaders, including speaking roles at prominent events. Additionally, the compensation and benefits are likely the best in the market for this type of role.

Cons

There is nothing that I would consider a downside for my role.
