MeasuringU Response
3yThank you for taking the time to share your experience. While we certainly have a different perspective on the events you recall, it’s clear you had a negative experience which we believe is atypical.
We understand that discussions about pay, even while innocuous, can seem hostile, especially for applicants early in their career. Our pay policies are both fair and transparent. We post the salary range for the job and links to the latest UXPA salary survey in the application process so applicants can see up to date information on what people with similar experience in different geographies report making. According to our records from 2016 we matched the compensation in the competing offer you referenced which provided you with an above average salary for an entry level candidate.
At MeasuringU we hire both experienced researchers and are proud to give a chance on candidates looking to enter the UX research field. We provide extensive training and mentorship but not everyone is a good fit and can struggle with client communication and deadlines.
Working at a leading UX research agency provides researchers with unparalleled opportunities to work with the largest names in technology. But certain aspects of a research agency can be hard, especially for those right out of school, such as the unpredictable workloads at some times of the year and quick deadlines from clients.
We have a dedicated research project manager and lead researchers to help mentor newer employees and help balance workloads. To offset our busier times, we encourage employees to take the time they need through our unlimited vacation policy. Long weekends fishing, skiing, taking care of family or weeks-long trips to Europe are regular occurrences here.
We believe in fostering employee growth. The employees that have 5+ years of experience at MeasuringU see working here as more than just a line on their resume.
We wish you continued success in your career.
