Pros

Working at AnswersMedia was one of the most challenging events in my career. It’s also been THE most rewarding experience too. In the time I worked, I have learned and grown more than I ever thought possible. Yes it’s fast pace like any start up is, but if you are talented and motivated, you will have unlimited number of opportunities to grow, expand you knowledge and have fun doing it. For instance, I have been promoted twice in 20 months, which I don't believe would have been even possible at any other company. My managers have always been incredibly supportive of my career but also to me as a person which is very rare these days. It’s true that the company has been through many leadership changes over the years which inevitably caused employees frustration and rant. With yet another big change last fall, the company seems to be heading in the right direction with its full transparency and profit sharing model. Like I said, the possibilities are limitless. The bottom line is that it’s not the place for people who just want to skate by. This is a highly dynamic environment that is only suited for passionate people with that inner burning desire to succeed. Innovative products that this company offers would require no less.

Cons

Training and onboarding process could be a little smoother, new hires are expected to hit the ground running and supervisors don’t always have time to adequately prepare and train new employees against such a steep learning curve

Pros

*Peers: Smart, talented, and resourceful staff. A "low/no drama" environment when it comes to the co-worker experience. I always felt my supervisors supported me and my decisions. *Client Relationships: Having come from an "internal client" background it was a great growth opportunity to manage outside clients and projects. *Expansion: Potential for growth as the company grows and moves into new exciting directions. *Work/Life balance: Aside from project specific deadlines, the schedule is very manageable. *Great Location and Facility: The space is modern and beautiful, and in the heart of the West Loop.

Cons

The company is expanding and growing quickly, bringing in many new projects while the staff size is still small. As more staff is hired, this should all balance out.

Pros

A great company for employees who want to roll their sleeves up and get things done! Over the 7 years that I have been on staff, I have been given 2 generous promotions with the opportunity to take on more responsibility and contribute to project deliverables and daily operations. Jeff Bohnson and Sean Murray are leaders who encourage employees to excel, learn new skills, and take pride and ownership of their contributions. A positive client experience and building client relationships is an important part of the company culture and is reinforced from top management throughout the entire organization, all the way to the interns!

Cons

The days can be long depending on the needs of the projects at any given time. Workload can be uneven because of the nature of the work and because client requirements (including deadlines and deliverables) can change unexpectedly. At times, it's hard to accomplish everything in a standard day, so employees need to be proactive and good at time management.
