Pros

McGraw-Hill, the parent company provides pretty good benefits. McGraw-Hill has also reigned in some of the stupider ideas put forth by JDPA management, so they are a positive influence. The company is well known, and well respected, outside the world of market research.

Cons

Constant "change" and upheaval. "Re-structurings" occur frequently - at least avery two years. The internal support depts. actually rule the roost, and the research and client-facing people are definitely second-class citizens, and the first to be thrown overboard. Sr. management lacks direction and is unable to articulate a coherent strategy to employees.

Pros

Generious benefits package. Opportunity to learn very quickly . Lots of nice people work here. Most well-known market research company outside the industry.

Cons

Hours can be long, which can be OK for hourly employees but not so much for salaried. Certain positions are underpaid relative to workload and responsibility.
