Pros

Decent salary, if not above market average; Work load is rather ok as compared with banking and trading; Nice office location in most of cases; Used to have a lot of nice people although not any more; A good step stone for junior pros like graduates

Cons

In order to get promotion, you need to be sophisticated - stab others if he/she stands in your way; bit of "makeup" to make yourself better looking to the public. In conclusion, do not stay if you're an decent human being. Supporting functions are doggy - HR does nothing but report your dress code type of stuff to senior management; Industry expertise is not valued here as the fact does not matter - it's all about a story-telling business model; tech infrastructure is shockingly outdated; no focus on ethnicity, hence no respect on individuals who do not fit in the "stab and kill" group.

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.
