Pros

Learn a lot about market research techniques and best practices. Some groups have a strong team spirit.

Cons

The company is too big for its own good. Lots of layers of bureaucracy. The people who sell research do not actually do it. As a result methods get sold that are difficult or inappropriate to execute. No one gets raises or bonuses. Everyone is spread out and the company does little to try to bring people together. Always short-staffed and never able to fill positions, high turnover.

Pros

Hard working associates, mostly bright (and admirable) heads of department. Good benefits. Previous CEO seemed like a genuinely nice guy and would listen to you if you approached him about something.

Cons

There’s a lot of reasons why top notch talent has long jumped ship. Great at sounding smart…terrible at actually getting the revenue to avoid the wholesale data asset sell offs going on. Terribly overcomplicated product portfolios with inflexible solutions at higher costs than smaller leading agencies that have outpaced them. Department heads gaslighting everyone under VPs about performance when they aren’t winning the internal Hunger Games and are told to reduce headcount.
