Pros

Culture of personal respect and courtesy, benefits, decent distribution of age groups across the employee population, smart people. Challenging and interesting work.

Cons

Run like a university, not a business. The "Deans" with long tenure and established relationships have created silos and cliques that will be difficult but necessary to break down to continue growth at the pace we would like to see. Technology treated as a cost center instead of a business necessity; pay below industry averages in the US market. Too much value for form over function.

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.
