Pros

interesting and good projects, was in good position in competition, many talented colleagues

Cons

not clear about other departments, but top engineering managers are not competitive. They simply don't have visions to build constructive culture for teams. People who are specialized in "political" engineering, could have promising career here. the new CEO is not bad, but I don't believe he (or his top management team) can make enough changes to turn it around soon, because nepotism has been part of the engineering team's culture for a long time. They should have hired greater top managers from some great companies earlier.

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.
