      Pros

      - unique exposure to a broad variety of industries and sectors that one would otherwise never come in contact with or learn about. This is often an untapped resource as many focus only on the next project/call/client and miss the bigger picture of the research while trying to hit monthly targets - early access to senior level clients and C-level experts to build your own professional network and develop a lot of soft skills from client/customer communication, negotiation, team work, multitasking to leadership, coaching and presentation skills at later stages towards Senior Associate stages and beyond. This your own hands and you will be given all the resources to meet clients and arrange events IF you ask and present your case sensibly - quick progression in research if both performance and soft skills align making it possible for some to reach a managerial/supervisory role within 2-3 years - very friendly and open culture where employees across different levels and divisions get along and work closely together to build a great atmosphere - management (both senior and mid-level) stays approachable and are easily accessible with a lot of positive drive from the founders and C-level

      Cons

      - work/life balance is often very poor and varies massively depending on the type of client, their deadline and most importantly competitiveness of the project as constant responsiveness and speed are key in beating competitors and as well as earning a bigger bonus. This mostly leads to additional work outside of official work hours, occasionally including weekends and is encouraged and often needed to hit targets. At higher levels it is expected to work heavily on providing constant training and development sessions on top of day-to-day responsibilities, which leads to more additional and often redundant work - compensation is well below average for the industry and sector, especially considering that mostly bi/trilingual graduates from top tier universities are hired. This is one of the reasons for the turnover of staff over time (especially in the first 6-12 months) - leadership and standards/processes vary wildly across different divisions and teams which often leaves above-average employees having to make up the difference in work and performance for underachievers that receive preferential treatment or are simply not trained properly - While a lot of emphasis is placed on giving feedback upward , not a lot of this feedback is ever put into action and rather discussed ad nauseam behind closed doors

      Pros

      Good entry-level opportunity with exposure to fast-paced, client-facing work. The company hires driven, sociable individuals and can be a strong starting point for building communication, prioritization, and execution skills in a high-performance environment.

      Cons

      High turnover and inconsistent management quality significantly impact the employee experience. Success is heavily dependent on your team lead and manager, with limited recourse if you’re placed under ineffective leadership. In my experience, poor communication, lack of emotional intelligence, and unclear expectations from management made it difficult to succeed and negatively affected day-to-day productivity. Internal processes around performance management and PTO lacked transparency. I was placed on a PIP and terminated shortly after (within a week) in a way that felt abrupt and not aligned with prior communication, which was initially framed as a discussion around pending PTO. There were also delays in PTO approvals, and I experienced issues with compensation adjustments following a promotion that required follow-up to resolve.
