Pros

Focused company on core product of surveys and assessments of training (which they call "learning"). Develop partnerships with outside experts that provide can credibility to company. Great sales trips.

Cons

Micromanagement. More tenured employees have more weight than newer employees with more experience. Therefore, tenure is what lasts, and experience leaves. Cliquey - if you are not part of the clique, you will not fit in. "Mean girls" clique make you feel unwelcome, and make up issues. First week of employment manager wanted to confirm that I drank alcohol. Alcohol big part of culture. No true HR department/roles. People with HR roles also have business roles that are bigger part of their job, and their primary focus. If you report to them, no HR to talk to.

Pros

Hey firms need to get a better understanding of what they are doing with those training budgets. These guys are helping companies gauge the effectiveness of those programs. You can get good experience around Analytics and build a good book of contacts within the learning world.

Cons

This solution isnt the easiest answer. Its cumbersome and a beast. The UX is eh - requires consulting and a ton of work. Now most LMS and training progams are coming with Analytics built in - and more native. Your own LMS provider can hook you up with solid analytics and its EASY. While the business is sound the culture is not. Culture Intense Micromanagement. Only say yes. Never say No. Never disagree. You best be a drinker. Its a strange environment where the staff is senior but aspires to be junior. Really junior. Company events are all about alcohol and the senior execs lead the way. More political than D.C. The better jobs here are not in the sales group. The pay is OK.
