Pros

Great location, cool office, smart people, interesting research. If you're the type that wants to work in a McKinsey type environment, and are wiling to truly drink the company Kool-aid, you might actually like it here. They do some very innovative research, and you can really enhance your technical skills while working here. It's kind of a start-up culture.

Cons

Really insular culture, long hours, passive aggressive communication style is the norm, and an a generally unsporting environment. Most of the leaders of the company are from the same PhD program, and have worked together for a long time. All the main research team sits in one room, and the analyst team sits in a dark basement. It's weird. I did not like my experience at this company. When I left, I felt like I'd been paroled. Other than that, it's great.

Pros

Halverson Group is a team of brilliant, compassionate professionals from various backgrounds (research, psychology, design, marketing, analytics), joined by a common desire to deliver innovative, game-changing insights driven by real, accurate data. A family owned company, where your voice is heard regardless of seniority, offers endless opportunities for career growth if you are proactive, self-motivated and unafraid to forge your own path. Diligence, hard work, resourcefulness and commitment to excellence will be acknowledged and rewarded.

Cons

The flat organizational hierarchy, which some may find liberating, may be frustrating to individuals who are most comfortable with a highly-structured, guided career path. Your success will depend on your ability to maintain flexibility in your work and communication style, as each project and client will challenge you to strategize, collaborate and problem-solve a little differently than the last. Tight timelines, cross-training and frequent travel may be tough for some.
