Pros

Work-life balance (sometimes this is a con), highly collaborative culture. Interesting time be in energy. If you are on the right team, challenging work that will help get you to your next position.

Cons

Company has very UK-centric often resulting in perplexing decisions with little global perspective. Very often, one gets the feeling that if an idea didn't come from the UK, it can't be any good. Too much fear of losing good employees rather than making it a great and inspiring place to work; not enough coaching and investment in employees. Literally stone-age technology and very little investment and support for IT. However, company has been going through several changes - which has led many shifts in leadership, long-tenured employees leaving - and in the short term, morale is low, but there is a possibility that the culture will turn around.

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.
