Pros

Supportive culture, planned work programs allow good home/work balance, reasonable early career development options. Good business model and strong reputation so should be successful for many years yet.

Cons

Salaries out of step with industries they serve, thus difficult to attract/keep staff with deep industry knowledge and capability. Focus on delivery, not necessarily depth of analysis and advice. Slow to respond to market changes.

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.
