Pros

The people you meet will be the best part of the job. Your direct managers usually try to be helpful and are great outside of work. The benefits package is fairly good and sucks you in.

Cons

Company does not care about employees. Morale at HQ is so low that almost 3/4 of employees leave before 2 years is up. Senior management never fully explains anything and often changes expectations mid quarter or without publicizing the start date. Most employees spend free time dreaming about getting out than about helping the company grow, the job does not lend itself to loyalty or commitment. The noticeable difference in the treatment throughout the company of various departments is a major catalyst for employee dissatisfaction.

Pros

Starting out as a person out of college is good pay... benefits are great, 401 option and stock is great as well.

Cons

However, I have been here for 2-5 years (no need to be specific) and have seen people being promoted when they shouldn't. I've seen people get let go for no reason. They will put you on a market where you will succeed in, and if they don't like you, stick you in a poor market where you go from your "goal target" to almost nothing and then they fire you! If you have a good manager he/she will defend you, but if you're not your managers 'favorite' he/she will take upper management side.

Pros

Good salary and bonus potential. You also have a good amount of control over your work day.

Cons

Limited opportunity for advancement outside of managing other research associates. Strange production goals that sometimes favor quantity over quality data collection
