Pros

- I enjoy the people I work with - Fun and friendly atmosphere - Company supports local causes and hence a fulfilling experience often - Some manager are supportive and understanding on the "unfairness" of senior management and try to work around the rules to help - Some managers are great mentors to help you guide and nourish your career - especially in the formative years of a young graduate - You can move laterally across 5 broad teams - Research, Sales, Account Management, Communications and Consulting

Cons

- Currently going through a lot of structural changes leaving employees nervous about what next - A sales company before being a research organization and the company ALWAYS will look out for their own profits instead of working out win-win opportunities for employees -- hence in terms of profits they do see aggressive growth because of this "selfish" attitude - Complete lack of talent retention program - the attitude of senior management is that of "my way or the high way" - No long term growth - this is mostly dependent upon seniors leaving the company - A lot of the management reach where they are because they were there at the right place at the right time...or was the last man/woman standing or people who are willing to work at the often below industry standard salary that is offered - all in all - We end up with management who are not very experienced nor demonstrate great leadership skills - Already mentioned, salary is not very competitive and it is important that you negotiate hard for your first pay because subsequent raises are almost negligent - Rules can be bent but only when the senior management benefits from it - Lack of flexibility and trust in employees - to the point of micromanagement on issues where absolutely not necessary and almost insulting; - Senior management is sitting all the way in London/Chicago and only want to be involved in the "good news", when there are negative issues that needs to be addressed - they rather ignore it -- Most things don't end up to the CEO and most decisions taken by the VPs are on the "do this because I said so" basis and final; irrespective of unfairness - Did I say complete lack of talent retention and any kind of supportive HR team for that matter
