Pros

Working for the company in the past was a very good way to learn about the industry

Cons

The metals division has been neglected with antiquated processes in place and no chance of them being rectified soon. The mid to senior management is not chosen on merit but on an "buddy system". As one reviewer mentioned there is absolutely no incentive to work extra hard because at the end of the day all you get is pat on the back.

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.
