Pros

People you work alongside are genuinely lovely and supportive. I have been at the London office for a while and this has always been true

Cons

Bottom line they pay well bellow the market average and HR and management will stop at nothing to make sure you do not get the salary you deserve. Moreover there is only one promotion cycle per year

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.
