Pros
- Strong relations with co-workers - Casual work environment - Company tries to have fun - Mostly flexible schedule (depending on the job) - Work can be interesting if you get on the right team (Big Data, Mobile) - Team rooms (for some)
Cons
- No opportunity for advancement. They expect people to churn, and they don't care, so don't expect to get ahead - The company pretends to follow a "High Performance Work Place" methodology, but it is mostly lip service, especially in the Engineering organization. - This isn't Google or a Startup: it's a 10+ year old company carrying a lot of outdated baggage. Core business logic in Oracle stored procedures is the norm. - The Market Research industry is changing dramatically, and Research Now has been caught flat footed by the changes. There is lots of talk about catching up, but this is a company ripe for disruption. Look at what's happening at SurveyMonkey to understand the disruption. - At its core, this company is about spamming people with emails to try to get them to take surveys for a pittance of compensation. It is a low-integrity activity which is troublesome to invest your reputation in. - Lots of churn. The sales organization has been completely gutted and the CEO left at the end of last year.
