Pros

- some flexibility if you are in a good team with a supportive manager - good pension

Cons

- company has been going downhill since it got sold - pay is not competitive - outsourcing a lot of the jobs to India, including tech - layoffs and hush hush don't discuss it - a lot of pressure to individual contributors, constant tracking and more being added all the time - quality of what is being build and worked on dropping massively, but as long as it gets out, that's good enough - no internal opportunities for leadership roles - very very slow career progression - you have to interview for the next level rather than for your contributions

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.
