Pros

- Ability to work on strategic consulting projects with Fortune 500 companies that generally would go a first-tier consulting group like McKinsey, Bain, or Boston Consulting Group - Feedback and interactions with mid- and senior-level management even at a junior level - Ability to advance somewhat quickly through additional titles and job responsibilities - Flexibility on working schedule and location

Cons

- Completely inept senior management and ownership which includes some of the worst practices you will see at a firm including hiring of relatives/friends for numerous managerial, administrative, and support positions within the company. - Structure and compensation system in place that encourages widespread dishonesty and distrust at every level of the company including by region (e.g., North America), group (e.g., sales, market research, consulting), and within industry focus. - Almost complete lack of any kind of functioning operations or marketing departments. - Woefully inadequate IT investment and infrastructure compared to other global market research and consulting firms. - Lack of adequate training when first-hired and continued investment in professional development. - Poor benefits including no 401k match and poor dental and health benefits compared to firms of similiar size and revenue.

Pros

Flexible work hours, 40 hours a week typically but can easily get to 60+ hours a week which is still good considering the pay. The opportunity to work on several projects and discuss forefront market trends with senior and executive management of Fortune 500 companies is directly in front of you to take. Just about everyone is familiar with Frost & Sullivan.

Cons

The opportunity is there but the execution is poor - very poor. There is no clear system in place so things easily got lost or forgotten. There are so many internal processes that it simply gets frustrating to get anything decent done. The incentives are not there to make employees work together and collaborate on a project. Instead they are there to create internal competition which means you're often not able to get the resources to help you and your client.
