Pros

Great people and a good place to start a career.

Cons

Poor salary increases, budget cuts, and a swathe of redundancies have resulted in an exodus of people. Very talented individuals let go and snapped up by aggressive start-ups looking to poach business from WM. Ridiculous profit margin targets and budget cuts leave WM open for pillaging in a fast-changing world. Competitors are loving it and employees are realising they can do a better job of it elsewhere. Technology is a real equalizer in this sector and it's difficult to see how the company can recover.

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.
