Pros

Very nice people to work with. A culture of hand-holding and padding on the back. Depending on how much effort you want to put in, progression can be fast and slow.

Cons

Below average pay. Siloed line of work. Outdated IT and infrastructure. Incompetent HR.

Pros

Really interesting work. Lots of good people around. In some roles, room for flexible development and initiative.

Cons

Company in some ways a leader in political risk (decades in industry, analysts over the world), but political risk team seems to be lowest priority in the business. As a consulting firm, workloads can be crazy. From my time there, it looked like career progression at higher levels was about sales and internal positioning. limited prospects if you're focused on delivery quality/performance.
