Pros

Although it took some time, I was given quite a bit of responsibility for someone with my (admittedly limited) experience.

Cons

Without a graduate degree, promotions are limited after two years. A culture of "up-or-out" versus a "a war of attrition" provides tension.

Pros

I have been a professional field interviewer for more than 10 years, and have worked for most of the survey, polling and market resarch companies during this time. Mathematica is my favorite company to work for. The pay is on par or better than other places, the supervisors are friendly and supportive,their flexible with scheduling, they pay per diems for meals, and they send out the expense checks ON TIME. More than I can say for other places.

Cons

Some of the trainings have been mediocre; some of the junior trainers were a bit scattered. But all and all, not too bad

Pros

1) Very smart and nice colleagues 2) Very good pay 3) Wide variety of interesting work 4) Promotional opportunities

Cons

1) No management career track. Lack of opportunities to take on leadership roles until you're very senior. 2) Project directors have full power. Management will not rein them in even when they display inappropriate behavior that does not follow company standards. 3) Lack of transparency about overall management decisions.
