Pros

*Kind and genuine management who strives for a healthy corporate culture- Management makes a concerted, ongoing, genuine effort to connect with and engage with employees on a regular basis. This ranges from big gestures like considerate accommodations during life events, to small gestures like taking time during staff meetings to ask how people are and congratulate them in front of the team. It's easy to feel disconnected from the team when working from home, but management makes an active effort to stay engaged and connected to the team. I do not feel like an "employee" here, I feel like a valuable team member and a human being. *Amazing benefits - Great healthcare, mileage compensation, 401k, a monthly amazon card as a thank you, an awesome Yeti thermos as a Christmas gift, you name it they probably offer it. *Realistic expectations - Previous employers in the SEO industry have had unrealistic expectations on performance or work outcomes, shamed employees in front of the client when work did not meet expectations, and even outright lied to clients. Profound stands by their employees, appropriately manages expectations and outcomes, and is above all honest in their assessments. *Above average compensation - Enough said. *Work from home - Enough said.

Cons

Working from home is harder than it sounds, your mileage may vary.

Pros

I really enjoy my coworkers. With the company being as small as it is, around 30 people, it's somewhat easy to get to know everyone, even in a remote setting. The yearly retreats in Milwaukee are a great chance to further develop those relationships. My onboarding experience was excellent. You really get the support you need as you learn more about Profound's process and take on client work. Company culture is great-- management is supportive and transparent, and people really help and celebrate one another. From a day-to-day perspective, the work-life balance is good. I don't have a ton of meetings, which provides plenty of time to focus on client work. The work itself is very data-driven, so if you like conducting research you'll enjoy the job. The work can feel a little repetitive at times, especially near the end of a big project. But there are opportunities to take on different projects which keeps things fresh.

Cons

This doesn't have to be a con, but might be depending on your work style. The team I work on has tackled a handful of different projects for the first time. This has required embracing some ambiguity, adapting to different workflows, and collaborating to figure out the best process. Because the company is small, and teams are small, it might be you and one other person working through a process. The benefit is you have input into how to do things. The challenge is figuring things out for the first time. This isn't every project, or all the time, but has been part of my experience.
