Pros

- Fast paced environment with a lot young smart, entrepreneurial, creative individuals who get things done in NO time; - Established, well-oiled processes within departments and throughout the company; - Salary, benefits, and bonuses are competitive (for Chicago region); multiple opportunities to volunteer (e.g., fundraising events, TutorMate program, etc.); - Great IT , HR and other support staff; great onboarding and training; - Supportive co-workers; - Centralized access to internal information (e.g., portal), where things are easily found; - Opportunity to work from home 1-2 days a week. However, it depends on the department and team leader; - Location (downtown Chicago, Willis Tower) - Free snacks :)

Cons

- High pressure environment, low work/life balance especially for employees with families; - Certain team leaders (managers/ directors) have VERY POOR people’s skills and no tolerance for mistakes; resulting in hostile, humiliating team environment; - High turnover - Purely utilitarian approach to employees from certain team leaders, with no room for mentoring; development and growth.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. We appreciate you highlighting why you think comScore is great and we especially appreciate the shout out to IT and HR! That said, providing better tools to develop management skills and help managers provide opportunities for their teams is also part of our function in HR, so we have work to do. This is a focus in 2018, and we will continue to build out those manager resources, and more importantly, to make sure people know where those resources are, how to implement them, and to ensure that once they have the tools, managers are using them. With the arrival of our new CEO, we’re establishing new corporate values that reflect some of your key points: specifically that leadership should be serving their teams and supporting their ability to win. We’ll be working hard to live this value.

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.
