Pros

Great staff, flexible working hours, favorable pension and a good short term experience for those looking to learn.

Cons

Large areas of unskilled management reliant on external management consultant firms, little or no appropriate on-boarding and training for roles, shocking examples of equality and diversity, no career progression. Most staff now cruising simply waiting for IPO so they can finally cash out shares and find their dream job elsewhere.

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.
