Product Analysts

Work Environment

Product analysts work in corporate offices. Those that are self-employed may work out of home offices. They work independently as well as part of a team that includes product managers, marketers, finance managers, among others. The work hours are usually full time, 40 hours per week, but hours may extend when deadlines need to be met and schedules are tight. Analysts spend a good portion of the workday on computers, reading and analyzing data, writing reports, and e-mailing with team members and others. Some time is also spent in meetings, conducting interviews of the users of products, and attending industry events and conferences.
