Pros

Nice people Interesting work A lot of opportunities and things you can do at any time

Cons

Overwhelming, slow and painful bureaucracy, including really clunky finance platforms. Claims to be a tech-forward company, but the AI strategy is very basic compared to competitors. Company executives are encouraging uptake, but in practice, middle managers are resistant to changing work practices, leaving adoption very uneven. Expectation of long hours for more senior people, which would be easier to stomach if pay and reward were more generous. Currently has very discouraging outlook for promotion.

Pros

Plenty of opportunities and various locations

Cons

You work your tail off using gas, mileage, time, energy, tolls, and consistent but the authenticator who sit in the comfort of their home find any and everything wrong with the survey you fill out. Then, you don't get paid. Their portal that you are supposed to use while on location has connectivity issues or whatever reason they decide to blame it on. So far, I've lost $500.00 with this company. There are many other mystery shopping companies who don't try to cheat you out of money. If I had to guess, they use your pictures and get THEIR money but won't pay their contractors. I would suggest shopping for any other company besides Ipsos!
