Pros

The openness. There is a lot of freedom to make a contribution. In fact, there is sometimes too much of that as we are supposed to manage and coordinate our IP as a business.

Cons

Our sales force doesn't always keep up with the company strategy.

Pros

Great people; good benefits; Excellent exposure to blue chip clients.

Cons

Poor work life balance. Management been in place too long and have their own agenda. many managers are now ill-equipped to take the company to the next level. Many of the management team don't understand the research business. this is particularly bad if you are a research compant.
