Pros

The people in your cohort are great--usually very smart. There's a definitive "work hard, play hard" attitude, making it great for young people. It's a really great first job because you learn the fundamentals of survey research, including survey methodology and data analysis. Another pro is that if you want to stay with the company (if the first year doesn't burn you out), then there are very clear paths to promotions.

Cons

The hours are LONG. When I worked there it was a 50 hour minimum work week, but that usually meant about 60-65 hour. Looking back, the salary didn't justify those hours.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
