Pros

The team that I was in had a really great team culture. It differs across teams. I was lucky to have a supprtive boss and gr8 colleagues.

Cons

In Market research, you need to get data from people, and sometines this means cold calling, so it can be quite frustrating at times. HR is pretty much non-existant. Their policies are pretty shoddy.

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.
