Pros

Some great co-workers (not M&M). Beautiful office space.

Cons

Where to start... basically the job entails doing Google searches and then taking that information and putting it into Powerpoint, there's no real proprietary database to speak of. Only one deal was executed during my 2 years at the firm. Clients are generally bored by the lengthy decks full of irrelevant information and become further and further disengaged with each subsequent update. Some of senior management are not really in the internet age and can not type; both require personal admins even though there are only 10 employees at the company. No benefits are offered at all, no healthcare, no 401k, nada. One can not talk about Venadar without mentioning the frequent firing. Everyone, and I mean everyone, gets fired here, no reason, no severance, no reference, nothing - out the door. Definitely ask about turnover and firing rate during the interview and watch them spin that turd, then do your own due diligence and contact any former employee on linkedin.com - the story is always the same.

Thank you for your candor. The office space is great and the employees are awesome. In the past, we have had to make staffing alignment decisions to maintain a confidential and high performing environment for our internal teams and external customers. Culturally, we try to project a comfortable, performance based workplace.

Pros

Classic market/product research house. Researchers who can research digest and write up (visually communicate data points) and key attributes over a weekend will love this job.

Cons

Work ebbs and flows…not consistent. Too much or not enough at times.
