Pros

Sometimes there is coffee in the lunch room

Cons

Raises that are half of the cost of living increase, and bonuses that are less than a normal paycheck. Global "Leadership" Team that wouldn't be qualified to be a shift lead at Taco Bell. A CEO who just acts as a mouthpiece for Veritas Capital. Benefits that were great by 2019 standards, but abysmal compared to current industry standards. (And even worse for new employees) This company was great when I first started, but has quickly become not only a laughing stock of the industry it's in, but a depressing s-show for employees. Our HR is more worried about "increasing glass glassdoor scores" than listening to employees. Mass layoffs, and watching coworkers and friends get escorted out by some Temu-rented security. Almost all of whom went to direct competitors. If you want to work in this industry, just skip this place all together.

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.
