Great people, great products, but you'll get sick of the company's lack of direction and constant reorganization.

Pros

Great research products - if you're going to do market research, syndicated is the way to go. Focus on automotive is great for people who love cars. And your colleagues are really great - nice, smart, and team players.

Cons

Senior management never seems to "get" what's going on. Reorganizations are planned without input from employees and rolled out sans advance communication. Senior management tends to raise everyone's targets equally every year instead of placing bets on high growth areas and funding those. Professional development and pay advancement usually occurs by switching jobs internally - hard to do so without one's group, which points back to problematic HR practices. And the pay scale is less than what people could make elsewhere.

Pros

Good people, access to senior management, interesting work that really does focus on integrity based on independent research into customers in industries around the world

Cons

Bureaucracy increasing -- as well as pressure to make unrealistic numbers in a down market. Smokestacked into to many fiefdoms. For most, few places to go outside of a narrow practice ara.

The J.D. Power brand is becoming diluted under new Automotive management.

Business Outlook

Pros

The J.D. Power "brand" is second to none and opens doors.

Cons

It used to be great in the old days. But the new management for Automotive cannot be trusted. They went through a "re-org" at the beginning of the year and everything is becoming unraveled. People are leaving and those of us who remain don't know if we'll have jobs tomorrow. As our talent leaves, J.D. Power grows weaker and the competition grows stronger. This is the result of being part of a publicly traded company. Short-term gain over long-term growth.
