Pluspunten

Strengthen Communication Skills Develop very very high level knowledge of various industries

Minpunten

No real "research" involved. The only research you will be doing is sourcing experts from LinkedIn all day in order to get them to speak with your client. Some experts get our industry and are happy to participate, while others will make you question everything. Work gets incredibly boring and repetitive. I can't think of any tangible skills or knowledge I can take with me to future employers. A job in the expert network space can potentially open the doors to an account management or Sales/BD rep role, but not much more beyond that imo. You don't develop any technical skills whatsoever, or real knowledge of industries, apart from who the competitors are.

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Minpunten

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pluspunten

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Minpunten

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
