Vantaggi
The fellow analysts are smart, talented, and wonderful people. The training was in a fantastic location (Austin).
Svantaggi
Consistently beginning work at 6 a.m. and finishing at midnight A complete disregard to any kind of personal life The company has a very cult-like culture surrounding the CEO, who often refers to Mu Sigma as a "religion" to which employees need to be converted Management completely disregards any advice given by employees to better the company culture The pay is low by industry standards Employees are expected to fully follow the "artifacts" that define Mu Sigma's "unique" approach to problem solving. The issue with this is that the entirety of the the muPDNA is actually propriety methodology detailed in The McKinsey Way (published in 1999, while Mu Sigma was founded in 2004) Complete lack of benefits-- management has told the last several training groups that 401k matching was in the works. Any time that the issue is brought up, conversations are immediately tabled Completely inappropriate emails from the CEO on a regular basis Extremely high attrition rate Very little actual analytics-- you work more as a liaison between the client and the offshore team
