Great Company - Analyst CI Radar Employee Review

The CEO is a really decent guy. Upper management seems to genuinely care about work/life balance which is rare in today’s job market. Everyone is friendly and seems to enjoy working here. Fantastic PTO, most I’ve ever had. The work itself is pretty interesting, you learn absolutely everything about whatever market segment you are monitoring.

It’s a small company so there isn’t that much room for upward mobility compared to other firms, when CI radar grows this will change. Also starting pay isn’t great compared to other jobs in the industry. The CEO did just give everybody a substantial raise to avoid losing talent (Great Resignation).

The Business Research Analyst position is definitely entry level. All it requires is a little business common sense to understand the articles that you will be processing. The daily work is primarily news classification, and while sometimes it can be tedious, it can also be really interesting to understand new markets. You receive plenty of training on how to classify, and any questions you have are welcomed. In addition to analyst work, most employees get other jobs as well. I, personally, am involved in hiring, and I love it. Other analysts have gone other ways and genuinely seem to enjoy it too. This company is a great place to start (or continue) a career, and I really hope that I get to stay for a while. I feel that concerns are addressed in a manor that you would never find in a large company. People actually care about people here. The salary starts low, but it is a small business, so that is expected. And they compensate for it in a major way, including work from home Fridays, a hefty vacation package, and a flexible work schedule. The CEO is easy to talk to, and seems to appreciate being talked to directly. The culture is awesome and being social with your coworkers is encouraged. I like working here, it has been a great experience, and I hope to continue to grow with the company.

Salary is a little low, but as mentioned above, they make up for it in other ways.
