Pros

(1) Immense flexibility to work at home (2) The people in R&A are great to work with (3) This is a good place to get your foot in the door and learn market research early in your career

Cons

(1) Horrible insurance options (2) Poor communication across departments and organization (3) Management has no vision (4) Turnover too high amongst analysts (5) Sales drives the organization too much - which again is too short term and transactional (6) Too focused on quantity and not quality - there has to be balance but there isn't (7) There is no company culture (8) Beware - as you stay with the firm longer you get overworked and under-appreciated

Pros

Everyone disappears for lunch hour and leaves at 5:30 sharp. Nobody comes in before 8:30. If you want to get into a daily routine then this is the place.

Cons

Forget whatever you may have learned elsewhere. Here you do as you're told. Do not question why things are done as they are.
