Pros

Work life balance, PTO is good. 20 days PTO plus 10 sick days.

Cons

They have been bought by private equity, and middle managers as well as product managers tend to suffocate developers in endless processes and meetings with no value added whatsoever. IT is an absolute mess, and will take months to resolve even the simplest tickets. Underpaid compared to industry average. Limited room for growth. A "high performer" will get a 2% raise, promotion process is a nightmare.

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.
