Pros

One of ProQuest's strongest qualities is that the company manages to retain many aspects of a small business despite being characteristically mid-sized at ~1600 employees. This includes access to executives for folks at the analyst level, and true flexibility in workflow & problem solving - if you don't like the way a certain process is handled you are empowered to improve it. Pay is competitive for SE Michigan, benefits are good, products are interesting and unique, and the culture is academic in nature. High performance is recognized, with the caveat below in cons.

Cons

Limited top-line growth creates a glass ceiling for many employees. It's not enough to perform well if you're looking for a promotion - you need to speak to your ambitions in order to receive recognition in the form of a promotion.

Pros

Decent work life balance, great coworkers

Cons

Little room for advancement - 1 actual promotion and 2 “lateral” promotions in 10 years despite consistent exemplary, goal-exceeding performance and increased responsibilities. Ultimately my loyalty was rewarded by being informed that the following quarter there would be a surprise transfer to move me to another team in a specialist role that “was not open to discussion.” After weeks of trying to get answers as to the expectations and success metrics for this (alleged) new role, I was laid off as part of a “restructuring” - supposedly because I “lacked seniority” in the “new role” I’d been forced to take.
