- strict deadline: it was good when you first started, cause you have a sense of time and focus on your project; but this could get really stressful and tired when you've been working for a while - slowly you get tired of the work
- built within the business model, there can be a lot of efficiency wasted in creating a project - you spend 4-5 days on a project, someone will edit it. when the report is handed to the client, it may be one month later.....if the researcher could be given this much time to finish the project, the quality will be much better
- you get evaluated for each projects, which means you'd better not make any mistake in the reports/ or any deliverable. This can get stressful in a longer term
- not a very collaborative environment - the co-workers are smart and helpful, but they are also busy, and the nature of the work doesn't require much interaction within co-workers. You can stay in the company and don't talk to anyone for a whole day.
