- Nice building since its owned by Irvine Company - Great variety of snacks and coffee

Cons

- Extremely little growth opportunity unless you are in the "inner circle" - Managers are not experienced and lack leadership and mentorship skills and are unprofessional - Managers fail at enforcing regulations/processes among their employees to uphold the key pillar of quality - Promotions are in increments of pennies - Pay is low and employees are not paid industry value - Company is focused on building the company value and not the value of its employees - Floor plan takes the open concept to a whole new level where you cannot focus on your work because there are zero walls between desks and everyone constantly is gossiping - Company is overall very clicky - Sales is told to sell, sell, sell but 50% of the time, sales aren't feasibly because of outdated technology - Quality assurance system is broken/extremely poor - Programming technology is outdated along with all the other operation systems - Low resources causing employees to have extremely heavy workloads - Expected to work on weekends and late nights constantly, no work-life balance and all the positive reviews below, HR has written them to counter out the mass flux of negative reviews since this place is a terrible place to work.

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.
