Pros

Flexible hours, Great co-workers, and social events.

Cons

Lack of work-life balance (every week is over 45+ hours), Pay is horrendous (no value for experience), Personal growth is limited, Highly unprofessional I have never seen any company that openly practices nepotism. People without skills are hired into management position directly out of college, absolutely no background/experience related to the position. They love to hire and fire managers on an ongoing basis. It's a norm here. If you are not good friends with the "BIG" lady, you are pretty much out of sight, out of mind. In other words, never expect yourself to grow in your position or promoted. Loyal people who have worked for many years seems to be stuck in the same position while a new hire or somebody fairly new (ofcourse, you need to pretend to be a " good friend" with the "BIG" lady) comes in and gets promoted right away because either their husband/wife is in another higher position. Meanwhile, the hardworking and loyal employee ends up leaving the company. Simply put, they don't care about their employees. All they care about is their game of Nepotism. Seriously, if you are a company that sells product to other companies teaching how to value their employee. Maybe it's about time you re-think what you are preaching. If you are looking for a place to grow and learn, this is not the place for you. If you love old dirty office politics, then this is a good fit for you. Highly recommend to stay out of this place!

Pros

Managers are outstanding. They truly respect and care about their employees. They make you feel comfortable sharing your opinions. They empower you to take action. The culture is fantastic. Fellow employees are wonderful to work with. Everyone takes their role seriously. You feel part of a village and want to contribute. You get to do what you do best! The mission and purpose make this feel not so much like a job, more like a way of life.

Cons

As is true for many companies, there are a lot of changes needed to be competitive in this current environment. Working through the changes can be bumpy at times. It is worth it to voice concerns and be part of the solution.

Pros

1. Genuine intellectual autonomy with real institutional backing behind you 2, A research heritage spanning nearly a century that raises the bar on everything you produce. I've worked with Nobel Laureates and many other top minds. 3. The nicest smart people I've encountered anywhere, drawn from all over the world; and that's held true across nearly 30 years 4. Treated like a responsible adult from day one; lots of autonomy and a remarkable breadth of data and research to work with 5. A place where your individuality is an asset, not something to sand down

Cons

1. If you are a person who needs someone else to structure your day and hand you a to-do list, you may struggle; the autonomy is real, and so are the expectations that come with it 2. The pace and intellectual standards can be demanding; this is not a coast-and-collect-a-paycheck environment
