Vantaggi

I left Brakethrough after working there for a year because I moved away from Los Angeles. One thing I appreciated about my time there was the supportive culture exemplified by employees in the company, from the Research Associates straight up to the President. Beyond being friendly and kind, they are genuinely good people. I came to work most days knowing I would be challenged. While it could be frustrating at times, it was extremely rewarding to see improvement. When I made mistakes, I was coached and guided on the right way. When I did well, management offered recognition and praise. Management was often open to and encouraged new ideas and initiatives. Even as an entry level employee, I was given the opportunity to be a major contributor on projects and take initiative in other areas like helping design an employee recognition program, the "Brakethrough of the Month." Another great benefit was the exposure to a variety of research methods, big name clients, and really talented researchers. In a small company, you're allowed to wear a lot of different hats and learn things at an accelerated rate. Being surrounded by such talented people made it seem like I got several years of experience in only a year. Despite working in a different industry now I continue to use the skills learned at Brakethrough on a daily basis.

Svantaggi

The startup style of the company left something to be desired by way of formal structure, policies, and procedures. Another downside was the detail-oriented nature of the work and heavy computer time. I often left the office with headaches. If you have trouble with small details or focusing, this might not be the company for you.

Vantaggi

Friendly coworkers, research managers are willing to mentor, and good exposure to different industries and sectors. Built a lot of skills in data quality control/delivery excellence.

Svantaggi

The pay is significantly below market rate, and the benefits are not very competitive. The 401(k) match does not begin until either six months or one year of employment (I don’t recall the exact timing). The company also hires a large number of interns without a clear path to promotion, seemingly to reduce benefit costs, which negatively impacts morale and overall team efficiency. There is limited encouragement of big-picture thinking, and junior team members are often siloed into primarily executional or administrative tasks. Client exposure is minimal, with few opportunities to observe how insights are presented or to attend client meetings. This can make it difficult for those looking to grow their careers and develop a broader understanding of the business.
