Pros

Management styles vary, but in research mostly you are left to own devices; trusted with a lot, thrown in the deep end; opportunities to meet clients and travel (pre-pandemic) although this varies by team; not hugely corporate and quite laid back working style; good benefits and flexible working make up for lower salaries (healthcare, paid leave etc); clear career path if you know what you want (skewed towards Upstream)

Cons

Can get easily stuck in a silo and quite difficult to move sideways; constant restructuring; uncompetitive salary; some managers are a relic from a different time and are less flexible (but this is true of any company of a certain size); not very diverse

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.
