Pros

Good pension and good bonus. Shame about the pay

Cons

The whole set up of the company is adversarial with very few people staying longer than 2 years. During my time, from my immediate team 3 people left. After I left another 3 left! Crazy turnover rate. Why? Because their is bullying and an awful work atmosphere. I was specifically told not to help younger/newer members as "they need to learn on their own". Goes completely against the ethos of a normal human. I thought I had it bad but others got bad mental health issues from working at WM. The all seem rpoud of paying below market rates because they want "people in it for more than the money". Odd thing to be proud of! S&P/IHS Markit is a much much better company

Pros

Appreciated working with smart, driven colleagues; they were truly experts in their fields. The rigorous schedules we were on were strictly maintained, which usually made for a very organized structure and workload.

Cons

Leadership went through many changes and acquisitions while I was there. The mission seemed to keep changing, and it wasn't easy to maintain consistency in our reports with such leadership changes. Market analysts were often pulled onto consulting projects but were not paid as consultants. This is what pushed me to leave.
