Pros

I was exposed to every aspect of the market research project, and was able to see projects from start to finish. The small team environment at Accelerant Research allowed me to have more opportunity and take on more responsibility at an earlier stage in my career than at most larger firms. My co-workers at Accelerant were always happy to lend a hand, and even more senior staff members don't mind helping out with the "dirty work". My time at Accelerant gave me a huge advantage in the recruiting process and prepared me very well for my next market research job.

Cons

There isn't much advancement opportunity beyond the Director/Senior Manager level. If you come in as an entry-level Project Analyst, you will likely max out your title in about 3-4 years. However, upper management realizes this, and they will help you make that next step after you've reached that level.

Pros

It is a small and intimate work environment that is conducive to learning and actually getting work done as the red tape that is found in many larger agencies is alleviated by the casual tone in the office. Day to day schedules are very flexible and center around project timelines versus a standard 9-5 set up with the capability to work remotely. Because of the close knit dynamic in the office, you work closely with the COO, President, and other senior researchers, gaining strong mentors by default. Due to the full service nature of the agency, opportunity to learn and execute an array of both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies/approaches, providing a plethora of career growth opportunities for each individual employee. Accelerant has also built a diverse client base, allowing for exposure across a variety of industries.

Cons

If you require a structured daily schedule and explicitly defined job description/role, this is not the firm for you.

Pros

Projects have a lot of a lot of variety (client base covers lots of industries and the firm is full service), so work is interesting/good opportunity to learn new techniques/skills. You can sort of pick your path/grow expertise of your choosing. Seasoned teammates are very good about mentoring/ providing opportunities to grow skill set. Hands on learning. Pay is good/above average.

Cons

Workload varies, so flexibility is required. The industry is client-service, and projects can be delayed or escalated, so despite best efforts, things overlap more than planned and there can be light and high work days. Culture isn't a fit for everyone; you need to be a proactive team player/self-starter/comfortable learning a lot of skills to get the most from the opportunity; map out what you want to do/learn and engage teammates to get there.
