"Great company to work for."

"Although JDPower is a company that awards excellence awards, the working culture of the company is extremely awful, including no work life balance, little honesty and trust, mid management is pretty bad."

"I've worked for J.D. Power for almost 15 years. I stayed with the company for such a long time because the people were great and we always worked as a team to create wonderful accurate web and print pieces that met the J.D. Power standards.

The one in Westlake Village, California holds the graphics department."
