Pros

It used to be a very nice place to work once upon a time!

Cons

Full of politics, they always let go of good talent and make people who are completely useless as lead. The management doesn't care about anyone except those who are "Yes men". One manager gives you a title and after that manager leaves, the title is taken back. Filled with juniors and those thinking they know everything. High attrition rate due to unsustainable work environment. And yes by the way no career growth, just stagnate.

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.
