Pros

Senior management is keen on cost cutting. If you are working in emerging markets, e.g. india, china. The center you are working at still have opportunity to grow. Your promotion ladder is still there. In general, Work/Life balance is good. However, it also depends on which team you join, and which leader you report to.

Cons

Senior management is keen on cost cutting. You should not expect to get good bonus. The merging with Risk Metrics introduces many uncertainties.
