comScore Reviews

Former Employee – worked at comScore

Pros – wonderful, friendly coworkers; good opportunities to work with lots of research data collected from millions of global sources; very inexpensive healthcare premiums

Cons – very little growth opportunities for anyone hired in the past 3 years; 2 layoffs in the past 3 years; weak 401k matching (max of 1.5% of salary with 5 year vesting)

Advice to Senior Management – Get expenses under control. 30% revenue is great, but expenses are growing much faster. Accept slower, smarter growth instead of spurts of fast growth followed by layoffs, hiring freezes, or salary reductions or freezes.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at comScore

Pros – location, co-workers (easy place to make friends)

Cons – you can be in the same job role for years and no one will care to promote or fire you...there's a wide level of accepted mediocrity here.

little recognition for efforts
departments are segregrated and rarely interact with each other
 no room for advancement if you're in a small group
Salary is sub par compared to responsibilities
Bad senior management with no leadership capacity
Managers need to develop their staff

Advice to Senior Management – recognize your peoples efforts, don't bring in new hires with higher salaries and titles for work others have done and are doing for less pay and recognition.

Current Employee – been working at comScore

Pros – Innovative product line with impressive technical advancements. Small company / team dynamic with big company presence. comScore is an authority in their field.

Cons – Selection of management has nothing to do with an ability to lead. Compensation is competitive at best, but usually below market in areas that count the most.

Advice to Senior Management – Scale the company at all departments, to meet the challenges of rapid, positive growth. Provide resources where needed, to ensure product line maximizes its potential.

Former Employee – worked at comScore

Pros – Solid work/life balance. Employees with ambition will get opportunities to prove themselves. (especially early on) Exciting industry to work in and lots of interesting products.

Cons – Hero culture. Working hard and delivering consistent results won't get you noticed. Must find a way to get assigned to new initiatives and/or be in the club to move up.

Advice to Senior Management – Talk to employees outside of your circle of collegues.

Former Employee – worked at comScore

Pros – good entry level work for college student.

Cons – You will be stuck when you will try to move up.

Current Employee – been working at comScore

Pros – comScore really is a great place to grow your skills set. There is a lot of autonomy given and you are expected to perform well. It means pressure and maybe less structure regarding direction, but as long as you like that sort of thing, comScore is a great place to work

Cons – The company is still somewhat in start-up mode. There are not a ton of documented processes or easy knowledge sharing outside of talking with people. That works well when the office is small, but comScore now has hundreds of employees in multiple locations, so you have to be more proactive in contacting the right people to answer your questions than you would at a larger company that has a lot of internal documentation standards.

Advice to Senior Management – Productivity is peaking with the available resources. To continue to improve and growth the business, management needs to invest in human resources. Times are tough, but you have to make that investment now for the payoff later.

Current Employee – been working at comScore

Pros – High energy, fast growing, exciting place. Lots is happening. comscore offers employees great advancement opportunities. A lot of smart people you can learn from and marquee client names. Tremendous information about what is going on in the Internet and Mobile spaces. Smart management helped the company grow and broaden its business base through product innovation and well thought out acquisitions

Cons – Too much to do. The company has too many initiatives and people are not always clear on where they fit in. People are generally cooperative but not always. Challenges managing growth

Advice to Senior Management – Great strategic vision. Need to focus on helping the company scale and maiantain work-life balance. like the way the stock price has been trending. Keep doing the right things. Keep the company entrepreneurial,

Former Employee – worked at comScore

Pros – Good place to work. Management leaves you with a lot of responsibility very early in your career. Decent pay grade.

Cons – Lots of responsibility really early in your career is not ideal for some. Some people can remain stagnant throughout their career at comscore.

Advice to Senior Management – Would be wise to promote high risers more quickly based on their work. Otherwise, they'll find interest in other companies.

Former Employee – worked at comScore

Pros – mid-sized, growing company with great brand in cool market space - get to see everything that's going on in the Internet, mobile, video, etc. CEO (Magid) and Chairman (Gian) are top-flight people and managers - great leaders.

Cons – Pockets of 'cliques' exist and some unnecessary politics, although overall good people. I worked in the Chicago office, where the layout is "honeycombed" (bunch of offices). I prefer a more open layout that encourages employee interaction more (more typical in tech).

Advice to Senior Management – break down the walls in the Chicago office (or move). upon exit of employees, ask if they think that politics in comScore was 'greater than normal'
