Pros

Great people and excellent work-life balance, especially for a client services position. The leadership and mentoring was very strong, with more experienced employees always ready and willing to answer questions and be a source of support. Team leaders made a clear effort to show that they cared about employees, both personally and professionally. The office was open-plan for teams, in that each team had their own set of rooms with team members spread throughout. However, people were generally very respectful of other people working; it wasn't as stressful/distracting as open plan offices can often be. Great company culture - laid back, open, and honest.

Cons

The work wasn't a great fit for me, as it's mostly quantitative analysis, and I learned through my experience that I am more interested in qualitative. However, it was a great way to build up my quant skills.

Pros

- The work-life balance is great. Few get in before 8 and most clock out around 5 (with the exception of Q4, when things naturally pick up a little bit) - You will pick up a marketable skill set while working in the rapidly growing internet advertising space - The people are for the most part all fairly intelligent. - Charlottesville residents generally enjoy a small-town pace of living with the amenities of a larger suburban area. RKG's central location on the downtown mall is within a few steps of the center of town where there are a number of decent restaurants. - The company culture is definitely a bonus. Teams do get pretty close and the company sponsors a number of outside sports leagues and other activities outside of work throughout the year. They Keep a pretty well stocked snack closet as well

Cons

- For the work you do, RKG simply does not pay employees enough to attract great talent. - While the work itself can be interesting, the reality is that it will be difficult to really advance your career at RKG (or anywhere in Charlottesville for that matter). - I Found Paid Search adverstising to be interesting, and the learning curve was certainly significant. However the day to day nature of the work can be a bit mundane and repetitive.
