Pros

Good benefits, smart co-workers, global perspective and a strong brand are advantages to working here. We have strong support from our new owner Verisk.

Cons

Top down, controlling management is not appropriate for a company the size we have grown to be. Layer upon layer of middlevel management swells our costs while hiring freezes handicap our efforts to continue to produce quality 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.
