Pros

- As an analyst, you get paid to research and help clients on topics your passionate about. - The work can be incredibly fulfilling and access to top tier press and execs is unparallel. - A very strong promote from within culture and somewhat of a meritocracy for analysts. - Great benefits and personal time off; but tricky to use all of the time given. - Excited about recent leadership changes and hope we continue to hire execs from outside.

Cons

- Too many priorities that makes it difficult for research managers and their teams to focus. - All research teams and analysts goaled but some get more marketing support than other. - Lack of investment in the core product and website that,hampers analyst and sales performance. - Recent sales changes have impacted company wide performance; but optimistic it's fixable. - Lack of product marketing making it difficult for sales to sell without tapping analysts for help. - Long hours and travel like a consultant but compensation isn't as comparable.

Pros

- The people there are great. The hours are flexible so if you have a family that's a plus. - Most managers are not true managers. They have their own jobs to do and they are not coaches, trainers, or motivators.

Cons

- little raises - Very difficult to get a promotion - No talent management, no mentoring or coaching
