Pros

Great benefits. Great health care (like really great. Even doctors office will go "this is excellent health insurance"). Strong belief in work/life balance. Flexibility. Great people.

Cons

Old systems that break and crash. A lot of talk about change, but when it happens its still greatly behind the curve. No equality of value. And of course, as everyone has said it is very Edinburgh centric, which means all the resources and staff are over there. They don't put high value on other offices. They make no appoint to even hire staff that would work different shifts so other offices can be supported globally. For a global organization, they seemed to really only be focused on, and care about the people in the Scotland office.

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.
