      I have been working at Neustar full-time (More than 8 years)

      Pros

      Ideas come from the bottom up. Great benefits. Fantastic culture. If you work hard, and have initiative, you will advance, but it is up to you to do so.

      Cons

      Customer satisfaction is key. Maintaining the high level of service for our customers at times can be overwhelming and stressful, but it is appreciated in the end.

      Advice to Management

      Keep listening to your team members.

      I worked at Neustar full-time (More than 8 years)

      Pros

      Neustar pays well and has long had good benefits. Managers understood the need for a good family/work life balance. Really enjoyed the people I worked with from bottom to top.

      Cons

      The company is at a point of major change, having lost half of its revenues, while essentially trying to complete its remake from a telecom support to a marketing analytics company. In other words, there is scrambling to make up for lost revenues and some confusion as to what lines of business will stay and which should go, but maybe this has changed some under the new CEO. There were definitely silos, but much of that seemed to be within old acquisitions that were never successfully folded into the company.

      Advice to Management

      Figure out what you want to do and get all your acquisitions pulling in the same direction. You likely need to skinny down even more to do it. Best of luck.

      Pros

      Good work/life balance, great people, solid benefits.

      Cons

      Too many changes at the executive level. Not enough focus on improving core product. Way too many distractions around finding a new buyer and making financials "look good" to make folks feel like they were building anything that really mattered long term.

      Pros

      Product portfolio and overall solutions offered are pretty interesting
      Some great talent is here

      Cons

      It’s pretty sexist. The boys club is not going away and people who are extremely toxic just get promoted, because they are friends with Big boys, and apparently being a bully is how you get promoted and respected here. Very frustrating

      Advice to Management

      It’s 2018 America, enough with sexism and bullying, enough!!!!
