Pros

Generous PTO Some amazing colleagues Still a respected brand as an energy advisor

Cons

Too many incompetent people in management positions. Toxic culture that promotes power grabs and backstabbing. Lack of real diversity. Too many relationship hires. Certain management openly mocked people based on socioeconomic status. Promotion is completely based on favoritism, not at all meritocratic. HR department is overrun by incompetency. Watch out for misleading information given by talent acquisitions if you are considering a job here.

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.
