Pros

It can be a place to start out in a career, if other doors are closed to you. There's a wide discrepancy in the quality of the groups. If you're lucky, you'll end up in a group with competent leadership.

Cons

Low pay, private equity owned now (replaced all execs who knew the business), no financial transparency, promote toxic managers, big layoff in May involved pressuring to keep quiet about the layoff and the severance package. According to the NLRB, employees and former employees have a right to discuss a layoff and any compensation, even if they sign a severance agreement.

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.
