Pros

Tries to be competitive and cutting edge, but not really there yet. In general, many kind people who seem sincere at least on surface.

Cons

Still very much stick in mud, losing its direction in past couple of years, how come so many people leaving and many of them are good performers. Cost cutting efforts have started bordering on absurdity and projecting a poor image to clients. Management highly political it is scary.

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.
