Pros
Global company well poised to take market share during the down market. Conservatively managed and expect to see continued growth beyond traditional competitors. Approach to engaging company-wide leadership in the vision and execution plan is best I have seen / experienced. If you can get close to one of the few strategists at this firm, you stand a chance to really learn something as they are some of the best in the biz.
Cons
Long hours - little time or consideration for balance and family. Minimalist profits make for minimalist approach to the market and this company will not be able to re-invent itself fast enough to hold its ground for the long term. As I said, there are some good strategists here, but they are not listened to reliably and there is not enough profit margin to do some of the big things that this company should be doing. Lots of mixed messages and where we should be focusing.
