Pros

- Young company and there are opportunities for growth - Research team is incredibly smart and intelligent - People are very friendly and helpful. Coworkers go above and beyond to help out fellow researchers. - Researchers work on projects across a variety of industry. Constant opportunity to expand your knowledge and skill set - Activities involving employees are organized regularly (field day, community services, happy hours etc.) - Some professional development training programs and workshops are available - Some flexibility in terms of work hours. Generally projects are assigned for a set number of days and if you manage your time well, there is a good work-life balance. - Some flexibility in terms of working remotely. - 18 days of PTO is not bad and it accrues as well.

Cons

- base salary for researchers is relative low - no bonuses or overtime compensation - retaining top talents is sort of an issue and is mostly because of low salaries

Thank you so much for your feedback. I am glad to hear that you are enjoying your time at Hanover. Our co-workers are really remarkable and are true representatives of Hanover's service driven culture, including service to each other. I am glad that you are benefiting from the additional training opportunities and encourage you to bring non-Hanover training opportunities to your manager. We do consider external training on a case by case basis if there is a business or client need for the skill and if it can be shared internally thereafter. We are looking at our compensation bands and making adjustments so that our salaries are competitive in the DC Metro area. Thank you again for sharing your feedback.
