Pros

If you're a news junkie, like learning new things, or enjoy reading and writing, you'll fit in well at Exiger. The managers and directors are good people who are looking out for their researchers. There's a lot to learn, if you're up for it. The research associate position is also eligible for overtime, which is good compensation for the hard work that's expected of you.

Cons

The work pace can be rigorous at times. The turnaround time for reports can be minimal and feels like a time crunch. Overtime, although compensated, can still be a bummer if you would rather be spending your time not at work. Also, the company is struggling to build capacity to meet its workload. Also can be difficult to know how you're doing in terms of development and mentoring.

Pros

- Real world impact of the product - CEO a true innovator - Low ego culture

Cons

It is honestly difficult to identify significant downsides from my experience. The main tradeoff was that the company moved quickly, which sometimes meant changing priorities.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO, remote work protected for those on remote-only contracts from the COVID years. - Individual team is fantastic with deep respect for the work and each other

Cons

- Absolutely terrible salary ranges for junior staff with little to no annual adjustments. Even for title raises. - Regularly working beyond job scope which only normalizes being underpaid as you promote, no talent pipeline for actual supply chain intelligence - just sales and Customer engagement roles - Annual layoffs create massive knowledge gaps within the company. - Titles are virtually useless as nearly everyone who gets recruited to Sales and GTM is immediately Senior Director or SVP - Regularly told we can't hire or make salary adjustments to existing staff only to announce SVP hiring bursts on LinkedIn - Technical leadership lacks a clear vision, and there are often competing and redundant priorities between teams - Culture continues to push towards sales bloat without adequately growing delivery teams and providing resources to infrastructure/tech staff - Recognition goes to the loudest voices in the room rather than the people quietly delivering great work - Absolutely absurd priorities in funding: Exiger sponsored the president's birthday parade in Spring 2025, had major layoffs in December 2025, and then turned around and sponsored the Great American State Fair in Summer 2026, all while staff are actively leaving the company due to low salaries
