Pros

Depending on the area, work can be quite interesting and good for long-term career growth. Lots of good people in the org.

Cons

Tons of bitter, unproductive politics at the higher levels. Leadership as a whole is dysfunctional and not empowered to succeed. New PE company slashing costs and losing talent.

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.
