Ventajas

Being out of the office working remotely.

Desventajas

This agency is 10 years old and is still blaming shifts and "growing pains" on its infancy. They have had enough time and experience to learn but refuse to because the higher-ups egos and micromanaging get in the way too frequently. I've seen women be treated poorly compared to my male counterparts which has made me uncomfortable at times. The higher-ups will put x,y,z strategies and processes in place with no vision just to see what sticks and leaves employees trying to guess how to do their job only to be literally yelled at. Many employees I've confided in have been called on the phone and screamed at by one of the main higher-ups. It's a tense environment at times. Not worth working from home, there are way better companies you could work for remotely.

We consider feedback to be a gift. We strive for an inviting, welcoming, diverse, and cordial work environment. We take concerns from current and former employees seriously and work to create an open-door policy where employees can share their concerns, criticism and feedback. We can share that the comments in this post are inconsistent with our work environment, and they were not shared with us previously by any current or former employees. We value the advancement of women in our company, and our internal audit demonstrates that women are compensated competitively and fairly for their work. Furthermore, a review of our leadership shows that the majority of our employees report to directors who identify as female. Nonetheless, we know that we can always improve, and we want to ensure we promote and enforce a respectful work environment. We invite this reviewer to reach out to us via email so we can hear more about how we can improve.

Ventajas

I really enjoy my coworkers. With the company being as small as it is, around 30 people, it's somewhat easy to get to know everyone, even in a remote setting. The yearly retreats in Milwaukee are a great chance to further develop those relationships. My onboarding experience was excellent. You really get the support you need as you learn more about Profound's process and take on client work. Company culture is great-- management is supportive and transparent, and people really help and celebrate one another. From a day-to-day perspective, the work-life balance is good. I don't have a ton of meetings, which provides plenty of time to focus on client work. The work itself is very data-driven, so if you like conducting research you'll enjoy the job. The work can feel a little repetitive at times, especially near the end of a big project. But there are opportunities to take on different projects which keeps things fresh.

Desventajas

This doesn't have to be a con, but might be depending on your work style. The team I work on has tackled a handful of different projects for the first time. This has required embracing some ambiguity, adapting to different workflows, and collaborating to figure out the best process. Because the company is small, and teams are small, it might be you and one other person working through a process. The benefit is you have input into how to do things. The challenge is figuring things out for the first time. This isn't every project, or all the time, but has been part of my experience.
