Pros

There are a lot of smart engineers here. Most of the hostile and cranky engineers left when Rentrak became comScore, so there's a generally good collaborative environment. Engineering managers are all really good too (good at insulating engineers from business people!) Some of benefits are of acceptable quality. Managers seem willing to give you more money if you're competent and ask for it. Managers encourage very good life/work balance.

Cons

Some engineers are incompetent or slackers and get away with it, which lowers morale. 401k is of inferior quality. Upper management seems to generally be of poor quality, though this most recent round of upper management seems OK. Company is entrenched in scandal.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate the comments on the 401k plan, and we're currently reviewing that. Per your comment on transit passes, we do currently have commuter benefits across all of our offices. While we did indeed have a less than ideal 2016, to say we're entrenched in scandal is incorrect. We're currently working towards all of the requirements for updating our filing with the SEC.

Pros

1. So-called un-limited time-off but never taken into consideration it all depends on how badly they need you, so if you are in a position critical then you have some good time off. 2. They "MIGHT" help you when you need emotional support, but this is not permanent changes with policy. 3. Summer hours availability.

Cons

1. Doesn't match industry level compensation. 2. Communication from the higher ups are always confusing and no clear goals provided. If there is something wrong with the communication between the higher ups you are always responsible even for that. 3. No stock options as they want the flexibility to fire you at anytime. 4. No severance provided until they know you can sue them back. 5. Look out for their quarterly meetings, if they are not doing good in Revenue, then expect layoffs within next few weeks. 6. They always tend to put the blame on lower level employees, when there is a escalation even when its not your fault. Prepare for getting fired if you are especially under a senior who has been with comscore for long + your team have good resource bandwidth.
