Pros

The people here are what makes this company - they are intelligent, friendly and loyal folks. I worked with all levels across the company and they are very passionate about what they do. Generally good pay & benefits although decent bonuses are a thing of the past. Good office space and cafe.

Cons

Micro managing, empire building and a general lack of trust from higher management - they’re scared you want their job and will (you can) do a better job. Lack of promotion, especially for women - flexible working hours although promoted heavily is not fully supported across the board and part time workers are frowned upon. Big mistrust of HR who are seen as too corporate - there to protect the business but not the people.

Pros

Appreciated working with smart, driven colleagues; they were truly experts in their fields. The rigorous schedules we were on were strictly maintained, which usually made for a very organized structure and workload.

Cons

Leadership went through many changes and acquisitions while I was there. The mission seemed to keep changing, and it wasn't easy to maintain consistency in our reports with such leadership changes. Market analysts were often pulled onto consulting projects but were not paid as consultants. This is what pushed me to leave.
