Pros

Friendly culture, excellent vacation plan, lots of smart people, decent work/life balance. Can be a fun place to work if you are associated with the high growth/focus products and services.

Cons

The private equity owners are pushing for strong growth leading to changes in the 'friendly' culture. Company employs about 1000 people. It can be good place to work if you are associated with the right products/services, i.e those that the company is spending $$$ on and thus have a relatively bright future.

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.
