Pros

The work isn't too demanding but a lot of problems will occur that you or your coworkers will have to fix. The coworkers make the experience much more enjoyable. The technology you use is pretty interesting. The clients you meet sometimes have cool stories to exchange.

Cons

CEO doesn't care about his employees, constantly makes remarks that seem like his employees don't matter and are replaceable. Management isn't better either. There definitely is some favoritism around the office. Sometimes the equipment and software don't work and no one knows why. If you're hired they don't really train you. Its more of your coworkers helping you along the way.

Pros

Industry leader in the consumer neuromarketing research field. You get to work with big clients and cool tech. MediaScience invests a lot in the company in terms of equipment and capabilities so it's an impressive place to work in that regard.

Cons

Because it's a small company, the benefits are limited but if you work hard you are rewarded. Two weeks vacation max a year even after working there for over 2 years. There is a gym benefit though which is nice

Pros

It's easy enough work and most people at the Media Panel are very nice. It's a pretty laid back work environment so you don't really need to worry about being over worked. They were in the process of improving their HR as I left so things are probably a little different since my time there.

Cons

The pay is not very good and as a research assistant, you don't get very many perks. A lot of times food would be brought in for the researchers or managers and the RAs would be completely overlooked. There were a lot of issues with management when I was there. Some of the higher ups caused problems by choosing favorites or disclosing personal information to the rest of the company. Also, the office that you spend most of your time in is really just a dark room with a bunch of televisions. Kind of soul draining. Also, as a research assistant, there isn't a whole lot of room for growth unless you get your masters or PHD.
