Pros

Generally most people are nice to work with, the benefits package is fairly comprehensive.

Cons

The company seemingly has no interest in retaining or promoting talent, It seems their ideal employee is someone who is just about capable but is willing to be over worked and under appreciated, with little to no ambition to progress beyond their current role. There's an incredibly clear trend showing this attitude where someone who is talented and driving their area of the business forward leaves because they've been repeatedly denied the promotion/salary increase/recognition/role expansion they deserve. The company then panics to hire their replacement with the exact package and remit the incumbent had requested after struggling to recruit months and months after they left.

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.
