Pros
Lots of good locations of offices in US and worldwide. Really interesting products for business clients, one of the best public opinion polls in the world. I worked there more than one decade, and the first 15 years were wonderful.
Cons
Benefits are almost non-existent. Upper level management operates a "strategy du jour" style, cannot stand criticism or confrontation, and is very passive aggressive. Family owned corporation and all members of the controlling family are considered extremely talented by other family members. Other employees, unless "best friends" with family members, not so much. Daily expense burden is financed by the employees who incur expenses on behalf of the company.
