Pros

Interesting projects, casual work environment, flexible hours. If you prove yourself capable, you can have a good bit of influence on the direction of your team's work. The company is always working on new R&D so things stay interesting. Your mileage may vary depending on your team. Co-workers and managers are generally smart and friendly people.

Cons

Teams can get stuck in their ways. There is resistance to overhauling old code, so you can get stuck dealing with hacked-together legacy code and poor design decisions. There is often too much focus on adding new features and not enough on quality. Again, mileage varies by manager and team.

Thanks for leaving this review, we appreciate you taking the time to do this. We try to foster an environment where people can shine via their skills and expertise. We're a fast moving company and continually expanding our products, so boredom isn't a malady suffer from. The need for us to pivot quickly is just our reality. We'll definitely bring the code issue to the attention of management, as we think that's a really good point to highlight. We want to keep the environment for our devs fresh, as this is what makes the work interesting, and yes it probably does vary by team. We do know there are some things in the works to assist with this though. Thanks again for the thoughtful review, and we also liked the "mileage varies" quote, it was clever!

Pros

1. So-called un-limited time-off but never taken into consideration it all depends on how badly they need you, so if you are in a position critical then you have some good time off. 2. They "MIGHT" help you when you need emotional support, but this is not permanent changes with policy. 3. Summer hours availability.

Cons

1. Doesn't match industry level compensation. 2. Communication from the higher ups are always confusing and no clear goals provided. If there is something wrong with the communication between the higher ups you are always responsible even for that. 3. No stock options as they want the flexibility to fire you at anytime. 4. No severance provided until they know you can sue them back. 5. Look out for their quarterly meetings, if they are not doing good in Revenue, then expect layoffs within next few weeks. 6. They always tend to put the blame on lower level employees, when there is a escalation even when its not your fault. Prepare for getting fired if you are especially under a senior who has been with comscore for long + your team have good resource bandwidth.
