Pros

None. It is a terrible company to work for. Bullying is the norm.

Cons

Salaries below market peers. Messy commission structure. Gossip is the way communication trickles down. Managers are abusive and dismissive. A machine for people churn. Values only on paper. Call diversity to hiring British-born people, some with different ethnic backgrounds, but all born in the UK, which gives then a very narrow view, where ideas are easily shutdown.

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.
