I Wouldn't Want to Work Anywhere Else! - Anonymous employee Profound Strategy Employee Review

Small sized Direct Access with the top management

Small sized, no real opportunity for growth

I really enjoy my coworkers. With the company being as small as it is, around 30 people, it's somewhat easy to get to know everyone, even in a remote setting. The yearly retreats in Milwaukee are a great chance to further develop those relationships. My onboarding experience was excellent. You really get the support you need as you learn more about Profound's process and take on client work. Company culture is great-- management is supportive and transparent, and people really help and celebrate one another. From a day-to-day perspective, the work-life balance is good. I don't have a ton of meetings, which provides plenty of time to focus on client work. The work itself is very data-driven, so if you like conducting research you'll enjoy the job. The work can feel a little repetitive at times, especially near the end of a big project. But there are opportunities to take on different projects which keeps things fresh.

This doesn't have to be a con, but might be depending on your work style. The team I work on has tackled a handful of different projects for the first time. This has required embracing some ambiguity, adapting to different workflows, and collaborating to figure out the best process. Because the company is small, and teams are small, it might be you and one other person working through a process. The benefit is you have input into how to do things. The challenge is figuring things out for the first time. This isn't every project, or all the time, but has been part of my experience.
