Pros

Strong commitment to work-life balance, not just lip service. Great community of analysts, and senior people are very willing to spend time developing junior analysts. Wonderful place to learn. Fast-growing business means plenty of opportunity for promotions, new jobs, etc.

Cons

The company has grown extremely quickly, and with that has come some growing pains. Information technology is woefully out of date, and not invested in properly. And the previous retention program--equity in the fast-growing business--may not be as attractive for a somewhat bigger firm, but so far salaries have not increased to compensate.

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.
