Pros

-Interesting projects with international or innovation focus. -Most people are friendly and great to work with. -Amazing work/life balance, can almost always take a lunch, barely ever have to take work home and you can control work travel (for the most part). -Great location in Chicago -Starting to invest more in product and branching out to new BI tools.

Cons

-NOT the place to advance a sales career, rather a place to gain experience if you're just starting out and looking to build on experience. Sales positions are just as much about account management as they are new business. -Company and management has yet to recognize that strategic research is a niche market and not every business has a defined need or application for strategic market research. -Antiquated processes focused on old-school sales tactics. Very limited alignment between different departments. -Biggest obstacle to overcome is getting paid commissions! Something they smooth over in the interview process is that sales reps below 50% of quota YTD do not make commissions. Now, consider that less than 30% of sales reps hit their quota and a significant amount do no exceed the 50% mark. -Inorganic growth of business. The company is looking to double its sales force to show growth but their means of doing this is because of tons of new customers, it's because they're divvying up the territory into half or sometimes into thirds. -Limited to no insight into how company is performing as a whole as it's privately owned and very little information is shared. -Management has limited to no experience outside current company. Often feels like manager can get away with anything, including extremely unprofessional behavior that is never addressed and being unqualified where it feels like you're hearing lines from a "sales management for dummies" book spouted off. Management doesn't seem willing to address unmotivated culture within organization.

Pros

Generally nice and intelligent colleagues - Colleagues are generally friendly and willing to help each other out, and I've managed to form a few genuine friendships within my time here thus far. In terms of politics (at least within my department), it is considered rather mild when you benchmark it against other companies who have individuals constantly at each other's throats - Euromonitor, with its solid branding, has managed to consistently attract intelligent individuals (sadly, unable to keep any of the good ones for long) and it has been quite an enriching experience working with a selected bunch Somewhat "okay" work-life balance - Time in and out is flexible, and management is generally lax about the amount of hours you clock in on a daily basis as long as you get your work done - However, there are times when the workload starts piling up and you get ZERO support from upper management + astounding ICAs to boot - Have seen individuals from other departments pull very long hours from being overworked and understaffed

Cons

- Almost everything about this company To name a few: APPALLING senior management - There is a lot of talk of putting change into place, and too often were meetings held internally to have nothing concrete come out of it. By the time some form of change was attempted, countless number of people were extremely unhappy and have decided to take the high road out of here - Have seen on many occasions where management has been lazy, pushing their responsibility to junior positions to make their personal jobs easier. Doesn't set a good example, especially to the newer employees Poor synergy between departments - Departments generally do not gel well with each other, and there are several occasions where animosity is developed from colleagues feeding each other incorrect information just to take the easy and convenient way out - Doesn't feel like colleagues are generally supportive of each other's growth in the company, keeping closely to their own KPIs Cold and unmotivated culture - Colleagues generally look lifeless coming into work, and I've rarely witnessed anyone genuinely upbeat or happy in a span of more than a year - Office can be dead quiet at times - General vibe is that this company attracts largely unmotivated (except for a rare few) people Questionable data - With the current methodology employed and remains core to the company, the data gathered remains highly questionable and to a large extent, highly unreliable Uncompetitive salary - In today's day and age, the compensation + benefits provided by the company is severely lacking Turnover Rate - Turnover rate is CRAZY, retention rate is barely over 60% and it says a lot about how much people value their time in this company - There are tons of better companies out there, the only saving grace (and reason many have chose to stay) is the brand name (Which will go downhill soon if the methodology is not improved) - When you constantly see people leaving, it is difficult to stay motivated when there are more leavers than joiners. This also causes a lot of disruption in terms of work management, affecting report quality

Pros

They condone heavy drinking at company events and you can totally get away with being a drunken idiot (a positive if that's your thing).

Cons

They condone heavy drinking at company events and you can totally get away with being a drunken idiot, making the people who care about working in a real grown-up environment feel they are wasting their talents on a joke of a company. That's just the beginning and not nearly as important as the fact that the work itself is shotty. Research methodology is a joke and clients are constantly calling in to tell us the data is wrong, because they are right. Analysts are definitely making up numbers a lot of the time, the sales people are embarrassed because they get called out, management is clueless for the most part, and the people at the top that can actually make a change are too comfortable making their high 6 figure incomes to actually open their mouths and do something about the insanity. I saw many people break down and cry in the office, people are always being put on plans and getting fired, which is usual in sales, but not to that degree. No corporate job is perfect, but once you leave and get a taste of something else, it really puts into perspective that EMI is a sinking ship. Get on a life raft as soon as you can and don't be one left on a floating piece of ice, you'll freeze to death.
