Pros

Social company, lots of company and team initiatives, wide variety of interesting work, client exposure from early on, ability to take ownership/responsibility.

Cons

Very high turnover (due to very low salary compared to other market research firms/consultancies), limited growth opportunities, outdated and low salaries, overtime is expected (and unpaid!) as a result of high workloads, team resourcing is out of control and unmanageable (expected to support colleagues with high overtime even if you're already doing overtime), senior management seems out of touch with the rest of the business. Limited growth and promotion opportunities.

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.
