Pros

As some of the other posts shared, since HRG is operated like a sweat shop, you get forced to work pretty bad hours (often leaving at 2am) for not great pay. But in those long hours, you do end up learning a lot about analytics and statistics as well as bonding with your other coworker friends who are in the trenches of with you. Thus, it's that friendship from overcoming obstacles that's the one redeeming factor in this company.

Cons

Sean Rice, being the CEO and founder, is at the root of the bad leadership culture and it trickles down to the partners and principals. While some of the partners and principals will try to protect their people, they are also at the mercy of Sean's shouting and anger. He often asked me to cancel vacations or holidays, stayed way late after hours consistently, and made you do silly chores that are ridiculous. Having left HRG a long time ago, and having worked for a number of companies that have amazing leadership where no one has EVER shouted or yelled at anyone, it's really clear how bad the culture at HRG is and why anyone would ever want to subject themselves to the pain and humiliation that Sean puts people through.

Pros

Great camaraderie amongst employees, really cooperative group. Strong spirit of helping each other out to help get work done. Really get to understand and be experts in clients’ businesses. Client teams truly want to help clients make the most of the analyses and work hard to make that happen. Greater and greater responsibility is given as ability is shown. Work for very high profile clients with large marketing budgets. Affect large changes on an ongoing basis and grow clients’ businesses steadily. Exposure to a wide range of client’s organization, from junior to the most senior.

Cons

Workflow can be hard to predict ahead of time, particularly when delivering against client needed timing, which doesn’t move much despite delays in receiving needed information.

Pros

None, this company is dead

Cons

Thank god this company went defunct. Don’t think the actual founders knew what analytics is. They would make up numbers but using logic from the 1990s or the early 2000s.
