Pros

* Great stepping stone for people new to the energy industry * Healthcare and work/life balance are better than most other companies * VERY bright analysts

Cons

* Leadership suffers from 'Peter Principle' - virtually all executives have been promoted to their level of incompetence * Leadership has no path forward and afraid to show weakness by asking Verisk corporate centre for help * There is no career development plan; new hires need to come in with a mercenary plan of learning about the industry and then moving on to company with real career paths * Advancement (especially in Research) is all about politics both in the office and actual politics. Once you are on the wrong side of a political issue, hit the eject button and get out * New Research organisation is populated at the top with people in global roles having (a) no global experience, (b) no subject matter expertise, (c) horrible team management skills * I have never seen a less professional way of treating people. The public humiliation of people you have personal grievances with needs to stop. The public treatment of several high profile people pushed-out of the company was outrageous (and might have HR liability implications)

Pros

Can offer big salaries, but only in time of high oil price. No due diligence performed, they purchase companies just to spend capex and fire staff to protect senior managements opex.

Cons

Departments do not communicate, so often 12 people are working on the same thing. Agendas matter more then the correct solution
