Svantaggi
I can't say too much about the company's cons. But to be fair, I will try. It may be difficult for new graduates with no prior experience in the corporate world to be plunged into a corporate environment after 4 months of training on mainly Tableau and Alteryx. The corporate environment has certain expectations of professionalism which may not be developed in the training, as the company is quite casual. Another con may come as AI impinges on data viz, and analysis careers.
