Business Outlook

Pros

- Smart and easy-going colleagues, who are willing to share with you any "job tips" or knowledge per se - Management who would be very open to feedback - Nature of the work is already a huge plus: you've got to be involved in different industries and different countries and different types of analysis. Steep learning curve within the first few months! - Long holidays

Cons

- Work is cyclical: sometimes you are so busy you have to work late at night or even the weekends and sometimes you are simply doing very boring administrative works for the whole day(s) - Compensation could be improved, and yes other perks - Needs more bonding between management and staff
