Pros

-Very low stress. Excellent co-workers -CI Radar has some awesome PTO and WFH benefits -Good raises (proportionally) if you put in the effort -It's a good job to have while you work on other professional and personal goals

Cons

-90% of your day will be spent in front of computer doing routine tasks. -There are very, very few growth opportunities. If you are an ambitious person, you will probably burnout or move on rather quickly. Don't expect major shifts in responsibilities or even a title change within 2-3 years. -Decision making is very centralized and because of that, bottlenecked. They could probably benefit from a dedicated project manager -CI Radar doesn't really have the pay negotiations, promotions, or any sort of carrot and stick to keep you there.

Pros

The Business Research Analyst position is definitely entry level. All it requires is a little business common sense to understand the articles that you will be processing. The daily work is primarily news classification, and while sometimes it can be tedious, it can also be really interesting to understand new markets. You receive plenty of training on how to classify, and any questions you have are welcomed. In addition to analyst work, most employees get other jobs as well. I, personally, am involved in hiring, and I love it. Other analysts have gone other ways and genuinely seem to enjoy it too. This company is a great place to start (or continue) a career, and I really hope that I get to stay for a while. I feel that concerns are addressed in a manor that you would never find in a large company. People actually care about people here. The salary starts low, but it is a small business, so that is expected. And they compensate for it in a major way, including work from home Fridays, a hefty vacation package, and a flexible work schedule. The CEO is easy to talk to, and seems to appreciate being talked to directly. The culture is awesome and being social with your coworkers is encouraged. I like working here, it has been a great experience, and I hope to continue to grow with the company.

Cons

Salary is a little low, but as mentioned above, they make up for it in other ways.
