Pros

very casual and easy going. Nice social events and people are very easy to approach.

Cons

There is someone kind of friction between the UK and the US headquarters. Didn't really feel that we were connected to the US team.

Thanks for the review, we appreciate all points of view. Being a growing global organization, it's a constant effort to tie together the geographic locations. We're constantly looking at ways to increase collaboration and sharing across teams. As always, a work in progress.

Pros

comScore is a very good place to work. The workplace is very comfy and most managers are really nice persons. The company has some benefits (health insurance, free snacks, etc), and, at least on my position, there are almost no off-hours work to do.

Cons

The career options are quite limited, as far as I could see. This might be because the team here in Chile is not that big, so unless someone leaves, you don't get the chance to go up.

Thanks for your contribution! We're glad that being here at comScore was a positive experience for you. We're actively looking at our remote locations especially outside the US, in order to see how we can improve career pathing for our employees. And yes, while the Chile office is smaller, this may have played a role in that, but we want to ensure we have opportunities for employees to keep growing.

Pros

There are some really really smart, caring and collaborative employees at comScore. People that will really teach you and help you grow. Free snacks and drinks. Unlimited vacation, which is a nice idea...

Cons

While there are some amazing co-workers, you will also find a slew of conniving, arrogant individuals whom will act like your friend and really want you to grow at the company, but really, they care nothing about you at all and only care about themselves. There wasn't really a path to growth, and it's difficult to transfer groups internally. Work life balance depends on your team and your vertical. Pay isn't that great and training opportunities are slim to none. It's a factory. Stock price went down dramatically after they filed their 10K late and it hasn't bounced back since. There was a layoff (again) in February, meaning there has basically been a layoff every single year since I've worked here (3 years). Inconsistent structures among verticals and responsibilities across titles is also inconsistent. There are a lot of prideful, egotistical and incredibly fake salespeople that just care about the sale and don't care about the product or the people delivering the products. Focus on the sales cycle to be more collaborative across sales, analytics, insights and marketing.

Thanks for your review. We're sorry to hear that your experience was less than ideal. However, we'd like to point out a few things: We have a clearly defined policy for people to pursue internal opportunities, and encourage people to do so, if they have the skill set for the new role. There are also times that we can train them in that new role, given their internal product/process knowledge. Regarding layoffs - these are never fun for anyone involved. However, we recognize that there are times when the business priorities shift and redundancies can be created or brought to light. It is a misnomer that we have had layoffs every year for 3 years. In fact, this past action was the first reduction in force we had in almost 3 years, and was largely based on changes to products we would be servicing and some overlap with acquisitions. We're actively developing programs for managers, and internal training for employees for skills they will need for their roles. Our Learning and Development team has made great strides over the last few years. We're also extending this to sales, to see how we can bridge any gap (real or perceived) between sales and the wider organization.
