The first thing that struck me was how well SIS communicated with me - from instructions to directions to parking info to reminders. The focus group itself was fascinating. The facilitators did a great job getting everyone involved and keeping the discussion moving. I enjoyed hearing the perspectives of other people, and the 90 minutes flew by. Hope I get a chance to do it again.

I participated in a focus group with SIS International Research. It was my first experience with a focus group so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. There was a small, diverse group of participants and the conversations were honest, respectful, lively, and topical. It was a great discussion, and even more appealing as this was a group of folks that I don't think I would normally interact with in my day-to-day. Maybe some of them, but probably not all of them. So I really appreciated hearing all of the diverse input and comments. The moderators were focussed, polite, and constructive. The compensation was generous and immediate. I would certainly sign up for another opportunity to work with SIS International Research.

The focus group I was part of was highly diverse with people of many different backgrounds. We were all strongly encouraged to speak our minds regardless of what other people thought, the interviewers were clearly looking for honest opinions as opposed to steering us toward some outcome

I went to be a part of a research study at SIS a couple weeks ago. Not only was the location easy to get to but I – surprisingly – really enjoyed the experience. The facilitation was done well and the time passed so quickly. I also met some great other participants and was compensated promptly. All prior communication to the study was communicated thoroughly as well. I look forward to doing more focus groups with them in the future.

I worked with SIS international research as a study participant in August of 2022. It was a very positive experience. The staff were kind, punctual, clear, and engaging. I enjoyed participating in the discussion, refreshments were provided, and compensation was provided at the conclusion of the discussion. All in all, you couldn't ask for a better research experience. I would definitely work with them again in the future.

I was asked to participate in a focus group. I'm not sure how they picked me, but this was a fun experience. The group was well managed, lasted the time we were told it would (did not go over), and compensation was quick.

I recently did a focus group with SIS International Research. This might sound strange, but it was really fun. The topic itself was serious, and one that has potential impact outside of our small group. I left feeling like a group of 10 (I think) strangers could spend 2 hours in a room, be presented with a complex topic, and spend that 2 hours engaged in lively, intelligent, and respectful conversation. Focus groups don't run themselves, and I would imagine it can be like herding cats. It helped that we were given great directions, vouchers for parking, snacks and drinks. The group was in Boston, and although I live relatively close, the above eased the frustration of navigating and parking in Boston. Sometimes it's the little things... From this experience, I am confident in stating that SIS itself organizes their focus groups in a thoughtful, focused manner. Again, this might sound strange, but the experience made me hopeful that as Margaret Mead said (and I probably misquote) don't underestimate the power of a small group to affect change. Thanks, SIS!

I joined SIS for a focus group around energy brands, it was a great experience overall. Very interesting topics were discussed and obviously the community is being heard. Will definitely join in the future if invited.
