Good coworkers, nice people to connect with. Good office location. You'll walk away with good skills, even if this isn't the best position.

Cons

Tons of time wasted on inefficient processes; on-boarding experience is really frustrating and disorganized. I was already working more than 40 hours in my first week. Also, staff are underpaid and little flexibility on in-person and virtual working arrangements. Always got messages from my manager right at 5pm.

Cons

Low pay for first 2-3 years Too easy to become a manager Mandate 4 days per week in office Unable to retain experienced employees CEO very controlling and has no insight Upper management needs management training High attrition is a constant issue Cannot work remotely from outside of US DC and LA locations are in downtown Fractional staffing No clear pathways for upward or lateral feedback Management doesn't care about DEI or any other social factors Pay cut of 10-20% to go full remote Most people have no other work experience Hiring standards are not consistent

Upper management is not good.

Pros

Pros

lots of growth opportunities, relatively flexible work from home policy

Cons

culture can come off as cold

Pros

- Lots of interesting and impactful research - Opportunities for growth; hard work and knowledge/skills are recognized - Talented and friendly coworkers - Lots of valuable learning experiences - Options for work on different teams and internal recruiting - Choice of work locations (remote, Burlingame, LA, DC)

Cons

- Experience varies based on teams and managers. - Analyst training is sometimes a difficult first experience at the company - Senior management does not always do a lot to facilitate a sense of team purpose on a day-to-day basis. Sometimes more junior employees feel disconnected from the broader purpose of their work, and managers do not always do a good job of explaining this
