Pros

Exciting projects, well known name, clients respect you. Pay is competitive than other Kantar agencies and also GfK/Nielsen/Ipsos

Cons

Bad managers are kept on because they are good contributors, toxic environment, backbiting and politics. Cultural expectation to work long hours.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
