Pros

Not much. You can get $5000 a year towards education and can work from home 3 days a week.

Cons

Toxic leadership and PE cost cutting have driven out all the best people. The rest are just biding their time hoping for a payout. The place runs on fear, not enough resource and everyone is burnt out. There's no support for managers. HR are incompetent and just as toxic. Impossible to hire good people, even in low cost countries because we are so far behind the market in salaries. People are leaving for double the pay. No career progression. AI adoption is embarrassing. All the things that used to make it a good culture have been destroyed. They'd rather do PR stunts than actually do any real DEI or ESG work.

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.
