Business outlook
Pros
Excellent ability to acquire undervalued companies. Excellent networks and contacts, as they deal with the senior most industry executives. Gain expertise across many sectors. Lots of research available to read and learn from. Compensation is quite good, especially if you get a stock grant.
Cons
IHS has trouble integrating the firms they acquire. Hard to move up the ladder if you at not a political animal. The managmeent cluture is kind of stiff...think AT&T. Can;t fault them for this, but the bottom line rules. Sometimes has too much influence on theri decision making, so you are always lookign ovver your shoulder.
