Pros

Good learn to learn the basics of Market Research methods

Cons

Very little value creation for clients. Most of the work you put in is to confirm something that clients already know. Unnecessary importance given to PPTs. Story extracted from data has very little merit and because it's mostly low sample, it's at best indicative but presented as something that is set in stone. To add to the above list, the company suffers from lack of basic house keeping features - Glorifying late nights and overtime, Low Pay, Horrible work life balance, No empathy from leadership. If you are interested in MR, suggest to join a tech driven boutique companies that are coming up - Survey Monkey, Question Pro, Customer Guage etc.

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.
