      Great Work Culture is Declining.

      Pros

      The people that work here are amazing. They create a culture and atmosphere that makes you want to come in to work every day. Couple that with an amazing and understanding Manager and you have a great place to work. That culture is declining and little by little all those good people are leaving.

      Cons

      Too many layers of management and they only keep adding more. No career advancement opportunities. Not enough headcount. HR is very slow to process anything. Upper Management is too far removed. Compensation is sub--par. Benefits are ok.

      Pros

      When business was booming, it was great.

      Cons

      Market conditions changed, but management did not adjust. Now they just sit back and fire everyone for their negligence and mistakes.

      Fantastic Place to Work, But Some Real Issues Remain

      Pros

      Great place to be as a research analyst, especially if you are in an area of high client demand and management attention. You work with incredibly smart people, get to interact with a wide range of clients and at least in my opinion, have a great work/life balance. The trick is to simply be on top of your calendar. The vacation and benefits are top-notch and the sales team, has definitely improved. If you know what metrics you are being measured on (and work to get good metrics), you are willing to take stretch inquiries and you become a friend of the sales team, promotions will happen.

      Cons

      There are still some real issues. Promoting top-performing 24 year-old AEs to manager isn't a great idea. As analysts, we can see the impact on AEs when they don't have a good manager and it causes extra work for us and pain for the client. The stack ranking system does seem unfair and some of the metrics really don't make sense. But I have been the beneficiary of it because I simply accept it and work to ensure my metrics are really good. They have plenty of dashboards to track everything, so you can benchmark yourself against everyone else. When it comes to internal use of technology and processes, the company should ask the analysts that cover those spaces for advice rather than operating in a vacuum. Finally, there are still some biases towards end-user research and that doesn't make sense given the changes in the market.
