WLB is OK. My team is respectful of our personal lives and lets us take time off as needed. Comp is definitely not in the FAANG tier, but it's also not insultingly low. Decent insurance and RSU grants. Free parks admission with 20% off most products (often 35%+ off merchandise) is truly awesome. Some bright people who are also genuinely good-natured and want to level up their colleagues through mentorship. A few good stakeholders in marketing who are competent, reasonable, and not looking to throw you under the bus. Looks pretty good on your resume.
Constant reorgs. Constant priority shifts. It's very difficult to keep up with the terminology for various projects/initiatives when the terminology is interchangeable and a new project/initiative is communicated to you via email, meeting, or random Slack channel that you're blamed for not checking. Some unreasonable marketing stakeholders who are impossible to please and don't communicate their needs effectively. If they don't see the many times you try to get their attention on something, they'll try to blame you for not communicating. Plenty of incompetent people on the data team who have held onto titles that far exceed their skills by posturing, brown-nosing, and blame-shifting. They'd absolutely fail any test on SQL, Python, or statistics. Somehow, you can keep your title as a senior/lead analyst by slightly tweaking existing queries and moving stuff around in a Tableau dashboard. Terrible senior leadership that allowed the hiring of managers and lead analysts who make life worse for all. Very glad some of them were shown the door. Not glad that the problem still exists. Most colleagues are terrible teammates and will not take the extra time to nurture the raw potential of others into tangible skills. This was very apparent in that tense period leading up to the layoffs in spring 2023. Very much a culture of "you don't know this yet?" with some colleagues.
