Produce quality work in an easygoing atmosphere - Researcher Conifer Research Employee Review

A great team of people to work with and many bright minds to learn from.

Very small and scrappy, We had to find creative solutions to problems which at larger firms there are whole departments dedicated to.

- Conifer really invests in the wellbeing of employees. Senior staff encourages junior members to have work-life balance and sincerely checks in to see how people are doing. Company leadership has our best interests in mind, to make sure we are doing okay both personally and professionally. I am writing this in the middle of a pandemic, and leadership has been very thoughtful about adapting our work environments and giving us support where needed. - Strong sense of camaraderie. Coworkers are some of the nicest, funniest people I've ever met. Everybody is invested in cultivating a warm and welcoming community. We've collaborated on creative ways of staying connected as a team while working remotely (ex: virtual trivia, gratitude murals, video games). - Diverse projects ranging from many different industries (food, healthcare, media, technology). - The directors have diverse skillsets and bring different perspectives to problem-solving. When you put a group of designers and social scientists in a room, there is bound to be interesting philosophical discussions and new ways to look at the world. It's a great place to have nerdy fun and cultivate metaphorical thinking. - Senior leadership is invested in mentoring junior members and giving guidance on project work and general life advice. Coworkers are always open to teaching each other different skills.

Project work may be slow, but this is a challenge for many companies in the middle of a pandemic. Even when times are slow, professional development and learning new skillsets are highly encouraged.
