Fast paced company

Pros

High energy work environment. Company is well positioned in a very competitive market. Casual when not customer facing. Many great people to work with. Company has many initiatives in place for future growth. Great place to cut your teeth on corporate consumer research. Several core technologies to work with. Open team environment.

Cons

Worldwide 24/7 operations equal very long days and mandatory weekends. Office politics and over the top favoritism for day and night game play. Compensation is average. Easy to get buried in work. Be prepared to have your higher profile completes moved to a favorite (or you could be the favorite). Size of operation make it difficult to make any significant impact unless you're at the top of your game (not really a con but a difficult fact to know).

Pros

Everyone is welcoming and willing to help each other. We are focused on quality and customer service, but have made a lot of strides recently to increase benefits for employees: wellness initiatives, charitable events, social events, training, leave-sharing, RRSP/401k matching plans, etc. Promotions are not based on tenure but rather those who best deserve them in most cases. Management is fairly flexible about working from home and even somewhat on hours of work (so long as the work gets done). Pay is fair. Lots of opportunities to expand your career across multiple departments in the company and different parts of the globe.

Cons

There is a lot of change so people have to be very adaptive and flexible. Learning curve can be high - there is a lot to know. Work life balance can be tough to manage during our busiest periods but tends to be off-set by less busy periods. Previously quite focused on metrics, but this is changing.

Pros

Good for devils or people who play dirty politics and don't care about future prospect

Cons

Any day they can fire you. Very bad environment. Please wait and find any job but not in this company. No respect for employee. Groups are formed in team. Some mad guys are running the show. I would prefer to unemployed rather working in this company. I can not give any ratings.
