Pros

- Amazing colleagues. You work with some of the most passionate people who help you in many ways. Work that you do could be "boring" but the people you work make it an amazing environment - Flexible working environment: Very rare to find an employer who is okay with such an arrangement especially for those with kids. You are only required to come to the office twice a week which a good benefit - Mental Health: Off-day during mental health week and two-for-you initiative a quarter every year where you end work 2 hours earlier to focus on your well-being. We have to give credit when it's due and I do think it's an amazing initiative that other organizations can follow

Cons

- Low pay: Your pay might be stagnant and lower than industry standards - Cost-cutting measures impacting the wider team and losing smart, talented colleagues who have made such an impact - The recent changes have instilled anxiety among colleagues and has impacted the company and people in many ways - Lack of transparency from upper-management leading to a lack of trust from people within the organization

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.
