Pros

Holidays/insurance scheme are significantly above the country's average. I was lucky enough to have a line manager that was actually interested in my professional development. But this was the exception, rather than the norm. Great company to get an understanding of the impact of security/political/regulatory risks on different sectors and industries.

Cons

Although the salary was OK for Mexican standards, It could have been significantly higher. A lot of great employees seek opportunities elsewhere as the company doesn't make enough effort to retain valuable employees.

Pros

Really interesting work. Lots of good people around. In some roles, room for flexible development and initiative.

Cons

Company in some ways a leader in political risk (decades in industry, analysts over the world), but political risk team seems to be lowest priority in the business. As a consulting firm, workloads can be crazy. From my time there, it looked like career progression at higher levels was about sales and internal positioning. limited prospects if you're focused on delivery quality/performance.

Cons

little opportunity to switch between regional desks and promotions take a long time
