Pros

1. Managers who bat for you 2. Great work life balance 3. Great, smart people you will be working with.

Cons

Recently purchased by a private equity. In my first few months at the office, I saw office amenities such as snacks and drinks slowly taken out, a new CEO hired and subsequently, the new CEO deciding to cut a significant part of the workforce. Turned out I was part of the significant cut only 5 months in the work.

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.
