Pros

Work/life balance. Helpful coworkers. Supportive and nice culture.

Cons

Compensation, career growth (reaches stagnation in 2 years), lack of new ideas and projects, senior management still struggling to figure out what the company should be like in next 5 years. A conflict within company whether to project itself as a data company or research or consulting firm. Company severely lacking deep talent at low and mid levels.

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.
