Pros

The people were great and I met some fantastic coworkers

Cons

Working as a research analyst you have to be prepared to avoid the truth and lie to several companies you call explaining that you are conducting a "research project" so you require the information needed from that individual. If you do not however fulfill your quota in the pace they want, they have no issues letting you go. I've seen many people get laid off from those who've been there a long time, to someone who was only there just a couple of days. You are constantly told that you are not paid to have fun, and that you are there to work. Which can dampen the lives of a lot of your employees if they feel like they cant have fun, and they're coming into to work to just make money for the company. I feel like there is hardly any room for promotions and they'll work you to death until they no longer need you or you're simply not useful to them anymore.

We're sorry that you didn't have a great experience on the research team, but trust us, we REALLY VALUE our researchers! Don't take our word for it. We prove it and live it every day. That's why we increased the compensation for researchers 58% ... yes 58% ... over 15 months in 2015-2016. That's why researchers have more PTO than ever now, and why they now also have paid sick days. We value our researchers so much, we've literally promoted them to EVERY department in the company. Just ask our VP of Sales. He started in Research. Ask our VP of Operations. She started in research. Ask our Senior Vice President of Research. He started in research. The head of customer support? Yep, he started in research. The lead on customer marketing? She started in research too. We literally have former researchers in every department of the company, from accounting and HR to learning & development, sales, marketing, and customer success.

Pros

Good pay, good benefits and great office.

Cons

Poor hiring decisions, recent layoffs eliminated mostly remote employees because they are prioritizing in office employees, especially with recent investment in office. RIF was not at all based on performance which meant that some in office employees who don't know what they are doing got to keep their job. You have to suck up to management to get promoted and a lot of really good reps leave as a result of constant micro-management.
