Pros

Very smart people, by and large. Nice working environment. Tries to allow flexibility for life/work, not necessarily full balance. Compensation pretty generous, especially for Richmond market.

Cons

The company is a creation of consultants and it shows in the culture. Process rules all. And there is a great emphasis of presenting power point decks, rather than using complete sentences. Direct managers can make or break your career progression and they can be a mixed lot. They use the Jack Welch-inspired forced curve for employee evaluation.

Pros

very talented smart and dedicated co-workers. From a number crunching culture, second to none

Cons

Negotiate harder than you think you need to because you will stay at the same level for some time. Reliance on analytics can stifle new ideas.
