Pros

Great work life balance very social and friendly Constant opportunities to progress and learn Re-structured banding of roles now more competitive pay structure Now bought by a company who aren't focussed on churning out a profit actually focus on good analysis Very good time to join

Cons

it is possible to get stuck in a rut in terms of pay. if you dont actively persue your own growth then dont expect a significant pay rise every year. you do have to put up with some pretty dirty tactics from recent competitors... hence the reviews and also some serious bad mouthing to clients - fortunately we happen to be respected in the industry.. more so than companies who just buy more companies and fail to integrate them or their databases.. regularly lose the weekend - not from working just too many socials.. the next one is bubble football Some managers just plain old shouldn't be in that position.

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.
