Please read everything in the below reviews. They are spot on when it comes to poor and incompetent management, terrible metrics that make the job worse than it really has to be, and unrealistic career goals.
Research is essentially a slave ship where you either die (quit/fired), or you get a chance to move to another part of the slave ship (another dept.). Either way, you're still on a terrible ship with poor leadership.
Granted, the company makes A LOT of money. In those terms, it's a good company. It's when you pull back the facade and look deeper and see the grimy, gross, underbelly of the beast. It's sickening that they haven't acknowledged their growing employee morale problem. They don't care. You're just another cog.
Do not listen to their lies in the interview. You will be calling. A lot. You will not learn SQL, you will not learn anything advanced when it comes to commercial real estate. You will be a call center professional. That is your job until you quit or change departments, regardless if your'e an Research Associate I, II, or Senior Research Associate.
