Pros

Opportunities: enough to have kept me for 20 years! People and culture. Guaranteed interesting work in Consulting and Research. Great brand on your CV ( I have been disappointing head hunters for a long time.)

Cons

Business success can be cyclical based on energy markets but we are more diversified than ever.

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.
