Pros
-EMX is a GREAT place to work! EquityMetrix offers the ability to quickly move up in your career and propel yourself within the energy industry. If you are a motivated self starter, this company is the place for you! -Company feels like family - lots of young employees with a caring and supportive management. -You have a ton of freedom at EMX - if you don't like the role you're in, talk to your manager about switching to a position that better fits your strengths. In two years, I moved from analyst, to business analyst, to marketing, to sales - and got to experience more in two years than most of our clients who had been working in the industry for 5+ years. -It's easy to stand out if you're willing to put in the work. The office empties out around 6pm. If you're willing to put in an extra 30min everyday and stay until 6:30-7, it makes a huge difference. -EMX has a much better benefit package and travel reimbursement policy than my old big 4 job had. -Breakfast and Free snacks!
Cons
A lot of the analysts who work here haven't had any real work experience other than college "internships" and don't understand what it means to actually have a real job - (and not just show up and hang out at a desk for 40 hrs a week). Very frustrating when you're staying late to finish a project on time and co-workers leave early, because its a Thursday and "they need to get ready to go out."
Pros
The offices are clean. HR is genuinely caring and responsive. It's really easy to goof off all day on Friday and not get caught.
Cons
No one knows how to run a project. There's way too much focus on extremely mundane aspects of project reporting, which in itself would be fine if it didn't take up an inordinate amount of time and produce 0 results. For all that bluster, I never saw one project brought in on time or under budget. The so-called project managers are more concerned with prostrating themselves before senior management than anything approaching effective management or even delegation. Meanwhile half of senior management has its head in the clouds worrying about polygons and search queries while the other half is an absentee landlord at best. This kind of thing might work on college grads, but anyone with 6 months real work experience will see right through this shim sham. Also, did I say there's no accountability? Because there isn't. I felt actual physical pain when I thought about how poorly we were serving our clients. I just hope anyone looking to invest performs a thorough independent audit, not only financially, but as to actual business processes. This place is a kindergarten run by children.
