Flexible working hours due to no time sheets allows analysts to work within core hours of 0800 to 1800, but many will, if needed, stay later for important customer calls, while coming in later also, or come in earlier for calls and leave earlier.
As an a analyst there is often opportunities to travel to meet customers or visit trade shows.
Cons
We were acquired by IHS in 2012 who have bought a large corporate mentality to a previously small-medium sized independent company. This restructuring has bought difficulties and lowered staff morale.
Challenging, interesting work; awesome colleagues; small office feel even though the company is growing rapidly. Awesome opportunity to travel worldwide for international conferences related to industry. Opportunity available to mentor newer analysts after around 1.5 to 2 years experience.
Cons
Pay on lower end for work; overly idealistic report deadlines and sales goals; lack of consistency across groups. The company was purchased in March 2012 by IHS, a large American company so may have lost some of the small company feel. Things are accomplished slower now as reliance on approval from directors at IHS slows down processes. Focus often seemed to be more on sales than report quality.
