Pros

Great offices (NY) with some cool perks Very easy and fair hours, especially for New York

Cons

Research manager role is complete monkey work! Your job is effectively a glorified receptionist, with the main focus on scheduling as many calls as possible. There is very little 'research' required, but rather facilitation of people who can speak to topics. The skills learnt have no transferable aspect to them, and the job can become a career killer very quickly.

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
