Pros

Nice office, nice parking, coworkers are generally friendly

Cons

The product is essentially corporate-sponsored spyware. Morally dubious at best. CEO is absurdly heavy-handed, aggressive, and has to weigh in on everything but has little interest in the actual details. I was offered a 'promotion' that only resulted in an increase in duties/responsibilities with no increase in pay, and with no assurance of when a pay increase could happen. Absurd. Pay itself is abysmal. My next job, with fewer responsibilities, paid 20% more. Unlimited pto was the only benefit I would consider industry-competitive. Fake positive reviews on here. My manager ended up being such an incompetent fool that multiple exits were thanks to him (including my own exiting the company) and he ended up getting canned himself. Dude shouldn't have even got his foot in the door but somehow he ended up being in charge of a ton of people. He was so incredibly toxic. Some of the management here is super messed up, I have seen the wrong people climb the ladder and disrupt entire teams.

Pros

Working at MFour Data Research has been a rewarding experience in my career. I started as a paid intern over 11 years ago. I had the opportunity to grow through multiple roles—from project coordinator, to project manager, senior project manager, and eventually leading the OOH business unit. At every stage, leadership and my colleagues provided mentorship, clear guidance, and a roadmap to help me advance. Anytime I expressed interest in the next step, the company supported me in achieving it. ’ve had the privilege of working with some of the most talented individuals in the market research industry, and the management team consistently invests in developing people. Whether it was learning from project managers early in my career or being guided by operations leadership as I stepped into managing an entire business unit, the support has always been there. Along the way, I was even able to contribute by writing processes and helping shape how our OOH team operates today. MFour gave me an opportunity to establish myself in this industry when the CEO—who I knew from coaching boxing—recognized my work ethic and encouraged me to join the company. That leap has turned into a fulfilling career where I’ve not only grown professionally but also built lasting relationships. MFour is a place where hard work and dedication are truly recognized, and where people can thrive if they’re eager to learn and grow.

Cons

The office is located in Irvine, a city that is too clean for its own good.
