Pros

A few smart people left but the only real reason to work at Yankee Group now is it provides a stepping stone to other opportunities. 451 Group has added some stability but needs to speed up the integration of the two companies.

Cons

Where to start? Company struggles financially. Location used to be better when it was in the Back Bay area of Boston. No real depth at the analyst level. Senior management does not value employee feedback. The brand is ok in some markets but association with the brand can be a negative today.

Pros

Almost every research director, analyst and program manager knew their industry, technologies, market players and current trends inside and out.

Cons

In past years, certain business model changes tended to have a somewhat disruptive effect on the research teams.

Pros

Worked with some great people in my time at Yankee Group. Direct manager and a majority of the people I worked with on a daily basis were intelligent, fun, and hardworking. Was given the opportunity early on to explore different areas of the company and take on ad hoc projects.

Cons

There were a lot of communication issues. Was often given different instructions for the same task and inevitably could not make everyone happy. Teams were insulated and nobody knew what anyone else was doing, which led to mixed messages coming from all directions. Salary was very low for the amount of work assigned. Promotions were few and far between, with many employees stagnant in their positions.
