Pros

Fast-paced, do-it-all, no-stone-unturned approach to research, analysis, and deliverables in global markets and politics. Staff has wide leeway to think about any problem and build scenarios for clients and stakeholders.

Cons

Narrow thinking and rigid hierarchy mean that ideas are often violently, sadistically, and insultingly put down. Anti-brain trust of underqualified Oxford-Cambridge types insulate themselves from rank-and-file with an army of henchpeople designed to make management feel less guilty about their transgressions as rowdy schoolboys. 80/20 rule is in effect here, so it's best to become an 80%er and take a high salary to hang out in the pantry all day.

Pros

Stable company with excellent compensation and benefits. Great place to build a strong foundation in data center operations and enterprise infrastructure. Exposure to a wide range of technologies, vendors, and production environments. Collaborative culture with supportive coworkers and a healthy work-life balance. Good environment for learning the fundamentals of hardware deployment, troubleshooting, networking, and large-scale infrastructure.

Cons

Career growth can be slow due to a very flat organizational structure and low turnover in senior positions. Limited opportunities to develop new technical skills or take ownership of major infrastructure projects. Training and professional development opportunities can be inconsistent and may depend on management support rather than individual initiative. Engineers looking for greater technical ownership, innovation, or faster career progression may eventually outgrow the role.
