comScore Reviews

Former Employee – worked at comScore

Pros – Benefits, People, Snacks, Location, Amenities

Cons – Political environment
Lack of work life balance

Current Employee – been working at comScore

Pros – Very intelligent, hard-working staff, good health benefits, office happy hours, lots of opportunity to learn

Cons – Extremely long hours, not family oriented, clients are never told "no" and are never given bad news

Advice to Senior Management – People have lives outside of work and work is not life. Management should be aware of work-life balance and understand that quality of life is just as important as any other benefit. Also, they should be honest in all client interactions and not afraid to deliver "bad" news.

Long work hours. Some people are overworked and some are left alone.
If you are not a self leaner not a good place to work for.

Current Employee – been working at comScore

Pros – Work/Life balance good for pay. 1st year already travel

Cons – A growing public company with high performance goals allows for growth potential but quite a bit of stress.

Advice to Senior Management – A strong network of mentors for career development is a must have for the near future of comScore. Other firms in the industry propel the direction of their employees with a strong set of resources.

Former Employee – worked at comScore

Pros – -Ability to work from home
-"Casual" work attire every day
-Young office
-Cool work (digital market place)
-Coworkers were fun and we often hung-out outside of work

Cons – -Terrible commute to Reston from the metro-DC area
-Hours can be very long sometimes (12+ hour days)
-No overtime
-Very little acknowledgement of a job well done (upper management takes ALL THE CREDIT)
-Sometimes we felt that management was being "shady" with information
-Favoritism plays a role in promotions & raises the higher up you go
 -The work can be very mundane
-VERY little variety in work (once you are placed in your "vertical" you're pretty much stuck working on the same clients over and over and over.....)

Advice to Senior Management – Value your employees or they will all start leaving and heading to other companies (and not just with happy hours...how about some real recognition?)

Current Employee – been working at comScore

Pros – There is a very laid back atmosphere where employees enjoy a business casual attire. The cafeteria has an xBox and is stocked with snacks, letting you relax when things get stressful. Exposure to clients is great and allows entry level employees to hit the ground running. There is very much an entrepreneurial atmosphere, allowing employees to grow the business organically and tackle challenges in a fast-paced technology based firm.

Cons – Occasionally it might be difficult to break away from work. Since there is a large learning curve and peak workloads, you might find yourself working late into one night and similarly having little to do another day. Management understands this and is flexible in allowing privileges to compensate for long nights.

Former Employee – worked at comScore

Pros – Learn skills like excel and client management that's easily transferable to other jobs

Cons – Data used is tainted. The act of changing numbers in favor of clients is widespread and evidently entwined in the culture at comScore. People turn their heads but that's why turnover is so high and why I left--you end up not believing you're providing a good/honest product to clients that will positively impact ROI. I have heard people make up panel data to skew in favor of a client! Also, there is no transparency to clients and to internal folks. There's a "locked" folder that details "true sample size" (invisible to client service folks) that have the real sample/panel size... comScore says they have 1 million panelists in the US but at any given time the panel is as low as 500K or less! Horrible business ethics...

Current Employee – been working at comScore

Pros – At comScore, there is an unwavering focus on innovation and product improvement. The list of clients that comScore services is extensive and impressive, giving employees the chance to work on top brands. Furthermore, the work environment is incredibly friendly and senior management is highly accessible and engaged.

Cons – As with most market research and consulting companies, the work life balance can suffer from time to time. This is particularly evident in the 4th quarter.

Advice to Senior Management – Continue to innovate and strive to become the currency of digital advertising from both a planning and measurement point of view.
