Pros

Best in class analysis - delivered via research and consulting businesses - and clients need quality and *connected* analysis even more than ever before. (It feels a little trite to quote The Book, but its true and I'm glad we have finally taken this perspective to market) Thoughtful, caring colleagues. I've been through too many natural disasters during my time in Houston, and there are always Woodmackers who rally around to support. Lastly, there are few other companies where the Analyst is truly celebrated. In industry, an analyst is just the low rung on the totem pole until you get to be a negotiator or into business development. Here, we have a Chairman and Chief Analyst -- we celebrate our analysis!!

Cons

Sometimes it feels like there are a lot of people that are removed from our core purpose in life: delivering thoughtful data and analysis to our customers. There were always people who made the business run, but now it seems like some of these support functions have a lot of management layers.

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.
