Vantaggi
Overall, it's an interesting job that allows you to learn a lot about economics, if that's your area of expertise. In general, my bosses have been people who guide and care about your workflow, are attentive to your needs, and understand if any delays occur.
Your colleagues are usually intelligent and educated, so it feels good to work in such an environment.
Being a consulting firm, you'll constantly be in contact with high-level executives in both B2C and B2B businesses, which allows you to gain invaluable experience in the corporate world.
Svantaggi
Microtasks, probably the worst thing about working there, are microtasks. You have projects that you need to deliver with strict deadlines. While this is fine on paper, when you are bombarded with 3-4 microtasks on a daily basis, it could end up completely messing up your workflow, taking time away from reaching those deadlines for important projects.
They also have an obsession with always being very forward-looking, and although that's what their clients expect, they sometimes demand that you make forecasts yourself that would be done by an entire team elsewhere, forcing you to make a forecast that often, due to time constraints, doesn't go beyond your opinion. You can't be an expert in every sector of the economy, but at FV, they trust you to be one. It's flattering, but impossible for any professional.
Finally, if you start as a contractor, you must constantly be vigilant about ensuring your payments are made on time, as these are managed by the parent company, FiscalNote. If you don't pressure the payment team, you may face constant delays.
