-There are no actual hard skills to learn while being with this company. You will become an expert in cold calling and finding people’s contact information online. That is it.
- There is no real research done, but rather recruiting people to speak to the company’s clients that know what they’re talking about. Very misleading for college undergrads being recruited out of school who want to be part of actual research.
- There is an underlying sub culture of hate toward management and the company by the majority of employees. They realize they are underpaid and being outperformed by competitors in the expert network industry. Middle and upper management have their heads too far up their butts to see this.
-The senior leadership I had described above is so out of reach with its actual work force, they do not know the type of environment middle management has created (toxic).
- Base pay for incoming “analysts” is $48000 with “uncapped” bonus potential. This is extremely under market and “bonuses” are rarely hit.
- There is a constant turnover of employees. I’ve been here about a year and have seen more people leave the company than i can imagaine counting.
- Management is very “cliquey” and sometimes unapproachable.
-If you want to get promoted at a faster you have to kiss a lot of butt to do so.
-There is a terrible work/life balance as your expected to answer client emails throughout the night and stay very late when work load is piled up. For the extremely underpaid salary that you make at this company, the hours are simply not worth it.
- Employees are treated like children. For example there is a sign in sheet to the bathrooms because there is an employee who keeps leaving feces on the floor intentionally.
-Constantly micromanaged by tiers of micromanagers. It is how the company operates and something that is holding back a lot of employees from their full potential.
- The proprietary software the company uses is trash. Upper management spends too much time, effort, and money developing this product with people who barely know a thing and are extremely under qualified to be leading software development. There is constant outages with this internal software and glitches that are fixed on a daily basis which slows down the entire work force.
-With too many people leaving the company and a bad environment being created, there is no chance the company has what it takes to compete with its major competitors. It will be swallowed up in the next 5-7 years unless big changes are coming.
- C levels have left the company recently. You do the math here.
