Pros

Getting to focus on a discrete area of research and getting access to senior stakeholders at both end user organizations and solution providers. A lot of freedom to plan your work as long as deadlines are met. Tons of smart people.

Cons

Extremely global which can require odd working hours and travelling. It also means that your colleagues are spread all over the world and that you rarely meet. Plenty of group calls etc. are also at inconvinient hours if you have small kids due to both European and American participants

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
