Pros

I can't think of a single pro

Cons

The miserable senior management team that takes zero responsibility. A truly awful group who appear to be completely blind to how their behavior affects people's feelings. Or they just don't care. The arrogance is incredible. They act like they are the only company in the sector that matters. Bad mouthing competitors happens all the time. You are given no opportunity to succeed in your role, you get gaslit, and then you get pulled up for their failings. Crying at the end of a days work is usual now. And raising this with management and HR leads to no action whatsoever. They do care about Glassdoor reviews, however. You can probably spot which ones on here are written by HR and senior management.... Staff turnover is so high, as people realise that not every company is run in such a nasty way.

Pros

The work is interesting and I developed expertise on my region. There are also some nice colleagues at the junior and middle levels.

Cons

The CEO and CIO. Bullying and condescending attitudes. Micro management. Not the kind of people you want to come across in your career. Every encounter makes you scared and unhappy. When you talk to peers in other companies in the sector, you realise that Dragonfly is a crazy place. If you then go to another company, you see that narcissistic and condescending attitudes are not normal. They tried to rebrand to distance themselves from the terrible Glassdoor reviews for The Risk Advisory Group. There's a new name and logo, but it's the same attitudes at the top.

Pros

Dragonfly has a brilliant and caring senior management team that is dedicated to providing market-leading geopolitical intelligence and an opportunity to work with some of the brightest and most dedicated managers and analysts around. Following the firm's acquisition by FiscalNote in Jan 23 lots of new opportunities are going to be unlocked as integration beds in.

Cons

Inevitably following an acquisition there is going to be change. In the coming year there is an opportunity to unlock many of the benefits of working with complementary intelligence teams and build out the company's tech layer. But profitability is a current strategic priority, and the resulting cost control just needs to be ridden out.
