Pros

- talented, smart people to work with - company has a good reputation in the energy sector

Cons

- management takes decisions without consulting employees. If you hire smart people, you should know that they will also be able to give good insight in what would be good for their team. Restructuring and changing teams every year is NOT good for morale and the results have been very poor - lots of people leave - too many processes, too many managers, too many old timers - main thing is that high managers say a lot of corporate stuff that doesn't mean anything and don't realise how much frustration there is in the company

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.
