Pros

Flexible working schedule, global company

Cons

Leadership lacks vision and has deteriorated under Veritas compared to when it was under Verisk. The company is primarily managed by UK leaders who are envious of higher salaries in other countries. Senior leadership comprises individuals with limited skills and understanding of data and technology. Recently, 30% to 50% of the workforce in the US and Canada was cut, with jobs being outsourced to India. Morale is extremely low, and talented employees are seeking new opportunities. The new CEO, Jason, follows Veritas' guidance, a group from ivy league graduates focused solely on cost-cutting without real-life management experience. Avoid working here; there are better options elsewhere.

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.
