Pros

Innovative approaches and tons of implicit trust in staff. People are free to work their own hours in their own environment as long as the work is getting done. Generous benefits and 5 weeks of vacation per year. Recent changes are opening up room for a revived culture. Young employees are given tons of opportunities to take the lead on projects, interact with clients, and participate in industry events.

Cons

Had a poor fiscal year in 2017/18 which led to an obsession with "the numbers" and subsequently not enough focus on the people. Management has acknowledged this and is actively trying to turn things around. It's not an easy task, but there is definitely commitment from many to get there.

Pros

Over the past couple of years, there's been a strong focus on growth in the US which has resulted in consistent builds in momentum. This has meant there's more opportunity for individuals and the team as a whole. The New York location feels like an important hub for System1 again, with most new roles being built from there, while still maintaining the ability for remote work. The NY office has a lot of energy, it's a place that people want to work from, and as such the culture is bouncing back. Updated onboarding and training processes are well structured and thought out - an absolute must for a growing region.

Cons

My personal opinion is that expectations and realities of some roles are mis-aligned. The key to success at S1 is to learn as much as possible and feel comfortable applying research knowledge with clients at any stage of the sales funnel, otherwise it's easy to fall behind.
