Pros

It is a good place to start your career since you'll have exposure to many different markets and clients. That being said, It's like a lottery of what type of clients you get and what team you are in. Some of the best managers and worst managers I've seen. I was lucky enough to be a part of a great team and had a great manager. Office is in a convenient location. I like to think that the C-Level executives are truly nice people.. but they don't know whats going on in middle management.. or don't care enough to do something about it. nice monthly bonuses if you hit your target and accelerators "unlimited" sick days Career path (A1, A2, Associate, SRA...and then you leave, get fired or become a TL) which is about 2 yrs all together assuming you're hitting targets and making the right ppl happy.

Cons

- Obsessed with giving feedback - but they take receive constructive criticism well or ever change, despite all these reviews - middle management (TLs and VPs) are quite "toxic" - no year end bonuses - cold calling specialists - extremely high turnover - move desks every month - you cannot be even 1 min late to work, or leave even 1 min early - someone poops on the girls bathroom floor - lose motivation quickly - make you employees feel like they matter (Yes, EVEN the A1s and A2s) - college frat feel, everyone has a clique, and if you don't have one, you won't last long - pushes out the same people (basically the people who care enough to speak up) and keeps everyone that are willingly to be middle management's puppets - As soon as someone gets promoted to TL, they think they're too good to be friends with you (but honestly, probably brained washed by middle management)

Pros

-Amazing view -Snack room and fully-stocked kitchen -Great AC -A select amount of decent people

Cons

-Judgmental management disguised as friendly mentors -Very relaxed about certain inappropriate things (extremely loud conversations, soccer balls being kicked around when people are trying to work) but they scold you for random things if they don't like you (Example: Once, I had a meeting with my boss because I arrived at nine o' ONE) -Do not allow you to use headphones -Very homogeneous and dangerous culture - I've experienced workplace racism as well as overheard homophobic comments -Work is boring and tedious, all you do is harass people over the phone. Basically a telemarketing job

Pros

With the exception of upper management, everyone who worked there was 22-30, so there is certainly a young vibe to the company. The frequent socials are always a good time. If you work there long enough to be promoted to a Research Analyst II, you get to deal with clients directly, which is good exposure. It's also easy to make this role seem more impressive than it actually is on a resume.

Cons

Little work-life balance due to tough monthly quotas. "Research Analyst" is a misnomer, as you're doing very little research of your own; instead, most of your time is spent looking up experts on LinkedIn, tracking down their contact information, and attempting to persuade them over the phone to consult with your client. The company is structured as a series of teams, each with their own leader. Depending on the team you're assigned, it can make or break your experience at the company, as these are the people you'll spend 95% of your day with. As you can imagine, some teams are better than others.
