Pros

-Relatively high pay in the market for marketing roles -Can work from home, nice office with view at Marina Boulevard, hot desk with no fixed seats

Cons

-Very fast paced with many meetings to join. Have to constantly think about new ideas just to stand out. Often, more time is spent discussing and trying to promote oneself to gain visibility during meetings rather than getting the actual work done. -Companies shifting more roles to India and Malaysia due to cost efficiency and cheaper talent there

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.
