Pros
It used to be the pro list would be as long as your arm. Now the only pro to working here is that the employees (not management) are genuinely good people who try to take care of each other.
Cons
Working hours have gone up to at least 70 hours a week for most. People are leaving (or being made redundant) and there is no rehire. The company is trying to squeeze out the highest profit margin it can this year. Pay doesn't increase unless you get a promotion which entirely depends on your relationship with senior leadership not the work you do. If you aren't old, white, and from the UK (being male helps a lot) you can't be in charge of anything and good luck moving up. CEO only wants to hear "yes" to anything and criticism or alternative ideas are quickly snuffed out. There are a lot of complaints about middle management in the reviews but the real issue is at the top. There is an ocean between middle management and top management that simply cannot be crossed. I don't think the C-level even knows what happens in the company these days. They seem to only care about the next quarter's results and nothing else matters. It looks like the company wants to transform into this data service provider that scrapes public data, puts it into a black box, and spits out the answer for clients. All automated so they can reduce headcount. Clients pay for WM research because of the quality but with how many people are gone, and how stretched the remainder are, the company can't continue this way. Stay only a few years at best to gain some knowledge and get out. The company has been going the wrong direction since the previous CEO left but the pace at which the destruction is occurring has accelerated substantially this year.
