You are paid to do your job, and that's it.

Pros

Work-life balance is great and management is VERY supportive of respecting this. You will never get bored - subject matter for client-facing roles is very interesting and usually the hot topic of the day for the industry

Cons

While there is some top-notch talent and well-respected brilliant analysts throughout the firm, many are average run-of-the-mill analysts that can only be classified as average on their best days. Politics is the name of the game when you want to break into upper management - while on paper is based on your quarterly reviews, you only get promoted based on who you know. Management appreciates those that shut up, do their work, and don't complain. Hard work and innovative thinking hardly every recognized and rewarded.

Great people - little communication

Pros

Phenomenal team spirit in the office - we have each others backs. The feeling to actually contribute to a client's success. A lot of freedom as long as the results are as expected.

Cons

Anyone who doesn't work in Cambridge has basically fallen off the face of the earth for senior management - they don't care, they don't disseminate information. Pressure is applied globally to deliver against the ambitious goals but support is only really provided in the HQ. If overall performances fall short at all, no bonus will be paid company-wide - not exactly motivating.
