Pros

Great location in downtown Boston!

Cons

Not sure where to start... The CEO is focused more on vanity vs running the business the way one should be ran. He constantly would make decisions that would make no sense whatsoever, mainly because someone said or did something negative towards him or the firm. He is completely willing to go out of his way to burn clients in their research as a way to get back at them. Exampling being one time in a company meeting, he ordered an analyst to write something negative about a major online retailer because they choose another analyst firm for a project. They also have something call their "Value Matrix", which even after working at Nucleus is still a mystery how the come up with the scoring. As I've seen them adjust company scoring , even after publication because high dollar paying clients would complain about their placement. They are also huge micro managers, where the CEO would want everything to be ran through him, but he constantly would be missing in action for days on end with no way to contact or find him. The micro management even went as far as reading employee e-mails and sifting through web browser traffic almost on a weekly basis. This was only known, because he would make it a point to call out employees on certain activities in emails and company meetings. Honestly the list could go on and on.... This is not a company to want to work for and other have learned the same just too late. Its just a revolving door of employee's.
