Pros

-Access to the industry's top brokerage professionals -Strong emphasis on analytics and analytical tools like actuarial models, catastrophe models, financial models, including proprietary tools like Metarisk -Exceptionally strong client base that provides employees with a unique and broad view of the industry -The firm is diversifying it's revenue stream geographically and positioning itself well to obtain revenue from value added analytical services in future

Cons

-Despite great overall culture some high performers are challenging personalities to work with -Soft market is challenging clients to buy less reinsurance and puts pressure on revenue and margin -Man times there needs to be better team work between Brokers and Analytics (actuaries and cat modelers) on client teams (but in some instances it is working very well) -Still behind in Europe, but gaining momentum
