Pros

The professionals at Wakefield Research are the best at what they do. They are incredibly smart, committed to each project and generous with their time. I love the team environment and how generous colleagues are, everyone is always willing to help each other. The work is very interesting, covering an incredible range of topics and working with clients who have been with us for years. There is generous time off, every federal holiday plus vacation and extra time given throughout the year. Remote work is a plus.

Cons

Pros

Main Research Director is amazing and everyone there (besides management) is great

Cons

I honestly just remembered when I had a concussion I took 1 day off because I couldn't see and was yelled at and that day I had to proof/edit 250 pages of a deck and I got yelled at lated that week for missing 1 typo. The amount of work for the amount of pay was ridiculous. They prey on your, inexperienced people and mold them into their type of workers - which is work 9 - when I say you can leave/log off. You "get" holidays off but wait - not when a client is expecting a deliverable and then you have your whole family eating Christmas dinner while testing a link you aited on for hours. For the love of god please do not work here.
