Pros

Great place to learn and get experience. We work with smart people who care about what they do. Lots of training available for those that have time to take advantage of it. Decent benefits.

Cons

Culture has gone downhill since Veritas took over. Management only care about sales and cutting costs. Low salaries, pathetic bonuses, and limited promotion opportunities, but demands keep increasing. People are burning out but they've taken away our wellbeing day forced us into into a mandatory volunteering day instead. We've lost so many great people, we cannot meet our goals when we are hemorrhaging our best staff.

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.
