Pros

Working from home is perhaps, the best benefit

Cons

Reading GDs annual report is an amazing piece of fiction that does not map with reality. The unfocussed persuit of more, a lack of strategy and the crazy persuit to be a "Bloomberg" is pushing the company to breaking point. Analysts have either been layed off or have left and the remained left to pick up their slack. The push of custom work means that regular syndicated research is suffering. No decent IT, tools to do your work effectivelyeans the whole organisation uses commercial or free services to get work done. Quite frankly it's surprising that the company is still going. Quantity has taken over from quality. Rediculous amount of software developers are used to keep a home-grown shambles of a web site going rather than using an off-the-shelf content management solution.

Pros

Supportive team, collaboration within the team

Cons

You never get a raise or promotion, not even annual inflation adjustment. Higher management doesn’t care about you or any other employees. They are only concern about generating more revenue without even appreciating or giving any perks to their employees.
