About ELI Research

We are part of Eli Research, LLC which is a fast-growing global organization. Headquartered in Durham, North Carolina, our group and its affiliates employ more than 1500 employees who work from over a dozen locations on three continents.

The Eli Story

Eli was founded in 1991 in a fraternity house in New Haven, Connecticut. No frills from day one: the conference room in the Durham headquarters still looks like it came from a fraternity house - our founder's beat up old desk is still there. Eli started with the big, hairy, audacious goal that we could outdo competition at the home care newsletter game. Our first product, Home Care Week, still exists today, 19 years later.

We are passionate about creating products that engage readers and users with unique interests. Eli and its affiliates serve customers ranging from baseball card collectors to medical coders. We provide a broad range of media for each interest group we serve, including magazines, newsletters, online communities, subscription web sites, e-commerce solutions, workflow software, certifications, training, seminars, conferences, and webinars.

Eli and its affiliates are stable companies not afraid to take hard decisions that let us survive and thrive during economic downturns. Our private ownership helps us to take long-term view of the situation and a Built to last vs. built to flip philosophy.

Employee Speaks

  • I enjoy the collegiality, the universal good humor and serious smarts of our co-workers, the atmosphere of trust in relations with my supervisor-types, and the dress code (or lack thereof). Ultimately, I like that we are expected to do well, then trusted to do so--even when you've just started and don't necessarily know all that much.
  • I like the flexibility. I just don't know of anyone doing the kind of work we do who has the flexibility we do--and because of that it's hard to imagine working for any other for-profit company out there. I appreciate the smart and caring people. I'm proud of the brains and heart that are assembled under this roof, proud to be a part of it.
  • The first quality that I couldn't do without would have to be the dress code. There is nothing that can compare to being able to come to work as the person you are, not some mannequin pimpin' his Sunday best. While the freedom of self-expression can't be forgotten, the wonderful people I work with on a daily basis easily overshadow it. I've never worked at a place where you could walk down to the president's office, chit chat about books, the weekend, or any other inane subject & still have her treat you like it's the most important conversation of her day.
  • In the time that I've worked here, it's become apparent that Eli is a well-run company that makes smart decisions about growth and how we spend our money, and genuinely cares about the well-being of its people. Having worked for everything from non-profits to start-ups to major corporations and seen the mistakes that they've made - often at the expense of the employees - I'm very happy to be somewhere that I know is in it for the long haul, and is making intelligent decisions to guarantee Eli will be an excellent place to work for many years to come.
  • Not many places would allow your personal life to affect your work life and it's one of the qualities I adore about Eli. With numerous perks provided for the employees' comfort it's hard not to like working here...Everything from excellent health insurance, guaranteed two parties a month, food perks, gym perks, cool people, free breakfast, awesome dress code, flexible schedules and a comfortable atmosphere all make Eli one of the greatest places I've ever had the privilege of working.
