Pros
I learnt a lot during my time there, met some fantastic people and came across a lot of challenging work. The skills that I have developed are hugely valuable.
Cons
Unfortunately didn't feel like management were hands on enough, or trying hard to make more junior staff take bigger and faster strides in their career. Few, if any benefits. Lack of team atmosphere.

Hi and thanks for taking the time to write a review. Glad that you made some good relationships within the Verve team and that the work we do gave you the opportunity to develop so much. We generally try to give people the opportunity to feel trusted and make their own decisions which is essential when developing skills and confidence, but as with anything, balance is key, so we take on board your comment about management being more hands-on.
- Wide exposure to projects with some cool clients
- Quant and qual mixture
- Some really nice people
- Good way to learn some core research skills
Cons
- VERY hierarchical structure - you prob will never ever speak in meetings if you are jr
- Lack of training (even if u ask for it)
- Long long hours, so much overtime
- AI is too much
- Some people are really dismissive to non senior staff, lack of feedback to help you grow
- Junior staff do not get medical or dental benefits :(
