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

Good to start your career if you want exposure to industry after PhD

Cons

No benefits for Analyst and value for employees zero. No private health insurance. As a publishing company, they have no training programs what so ever for their employees. Management totally lacking. Pay is low and no progression for Analysts.
