Pros

If you are looking for something temporary until they work out how they can get your job done cheaper, or by A.I. this is the place for you.

Cons

9 different managers in 10 years. When they decided to cut the workforce by 8% by outsourcing to data centre in India (which was useless), the criteria was that the longer you were there (old contracts and pension rates) the quicker you had to go. The money they saved was "to be invested in A.I.", which they said like it was a good thing, not something that would lead to even more job losses.

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.
