Pros
* Great stepping stone for people new to the energy industry * Healthcare and work/life balance are better than most other companies * VERY bright analysts
Cons
* Leadership suffers from 'Peter Principle' - virtually all executives have been promoted to their level of incompetence * Leadership has no path forward and afraid to show weakness by asking Verisk corporate centre for help * There is no career development plan; new hires need to come in with a mercenary plan of learning about the industry and then moving on to company with real career paths * Advancement (especially in Research) is all about politics both in the office and actual politics. Once you are on the wrong side of a political issue, hit the eject button and get out * New Research organisation is populated at the top with people in global roles having (a) no global experience, (b) no subject matter expertise, (c) horrible team management skills * I have never seen a less professional way of treating people. The public humiliation of people you have personal grievances with needs to stop. The public treatment of several high profile people pushed-out of the company was outrageous (and might have HR liability implications)
