Pros

Interesting topic areas and good company benefits

Cons

Middle management hold up any potential progress. Some are OK but some have been promoted and risen up ranks only because they look like senior leadership and have been at the company a long time; bringing no real value to the roles they have and creating a very toxic team culture where they ignore skills and experience of others because they see them as a direct threat.

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.
