Pros

Flexible work hours, work from home days, diverse clients and amazing co-workers. Management is engaged and always looking for ways to improve the business for their clients and employees. Overall, CI radar is great when it comes to flexibility. They understand employees have a life outside of work and try to be as accommodating as possible. I think they understand that this flexibility relieves a great amount of stress that can come from trying to fit life responsibilities around a work schedule. They appear to be invested in doing everything possible to promote a positive and enjoyable workplace.

Cons

The cons list is short but there is always room for improvement. Pay is pretty low, not minimum wage low but considering they don't currently offer much in the way of traditional benefits (401k, stock options etc.), it's definitely something to keep in mind. Being a small business, there isn't much room for upward advancement.

Pros

The Business Research Analyst position is definitely entry level. All it requires is a little business common sense to understand the articles that you will be processing. The daily work is primarily news classification, and while sometimes it can be tedious, it can also be really interesting to understand new markets. You receive plenty of training on how to classify, and any questions you have are welcomed. In addition to analyst work, most employees get other jobs as well. I, personally, am involved in hiring, and I love it. Other analysts have gone other ways and genuinely seem to enjoy it too. This company is a great place to start (or continue) a career, and I really hope that I get to stay for a while. I feel that concerns are addressed in a manor that you would never find in a large company. People actually care about people here. The salary starts low, but it is a small business, so that is expected. And they compensate for it in a major way, including work from home Fridays, a hefty vacation package, and a flexible work schedule. The CEO is easy to talk to, and seems to appreciate being talked to directly. The culture is awesome and being social with your coworkers is encouraged. I like working here, it has been a great experience, and I hope to continue to grow with the company.

Cons

Salary is a little low, but as mentioned above, they make up for it in other ways.
