Avoid this company

Pros

As an analyst, you get to talk to a lot of interesting people and expand your professional network.

Cons

This company is 20 years old but feels like it only started a couple of years ago. It is badly managed and most of their analysts are new recruits with little to no industry experience. Their current model is to hire cheap graduates who will produce reports they can sell for a lot of money. You are told to write a market research report on a subject you are completely new to, and pretend that you are an expert. If there is a problem with the report, they simply fire the analyst and hire someone else to replace them. Trust me you will hear some really bad stories. Just look at the number of reports they sell vs the number of analysts they have. One of the reviews below was written by a Director. Well of course, if you are one of the directors (i.e shareholder) then you are going to be "very happy". For regular employees it is a totally different story. The way they treat their people is just shocking. Most of them are unhappy and constantly scared of losing their job. Also, people at the top have been vocal about supporting Brexit, which made some employees quietly uncomfortable. Unless you are desperate for a job, it is better to avoid this company.

Small company culture and mind set

Pros

No-one is micro managed, it maintains the start-up/small company culture, plenty of friendly people willing to help, good selection of research topics.

Cons

Senior management is unconventional, the benefits are average, the small company culture = lacking any real ambition and direction, unsure if the company even has corporate values to promote

Stay away

Pros

Friendly atmosphere among analysts. Excellent location (when I worked there)

Cons

I work for this company in 2019 and was shocked with the way they treated me. No guide lines, no clear goals and suddenly from one day to another I way fired. I should expect it because while I was there I've heard a lot of similar experiences told by my ex colleagues. I just don't understand how come cleaver and young professionals continue to work there. Stay away unless you are desperate.
