Pros

5 week vacation, good health insurance

Cons

Lack of leadership, lack of strategy, no business focus, no career advancement or professional training. HUGE buddy-system, extremely UK centric - anything that doesn't come out of the UK it's seen as not good. C-executives have no clue of what they are doing, they have no knowledge of what's going on nor they care

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.
