Pros

Kantar is superficially nice, like the west coast - they say the right things, celebrate Pride and diversity, etc. Work-life balance is good.

Cons

Their primary product is restructuring - they are owned by a private equity firm with inscrutable goals that is constantly shuffling people around, laying them off and hiring new people for less money. The executives try, but there are too many of them and it's abundantly clear that they don't really have that much power to do anything, so they get inflated job titles instead. The layoffs seem completely random - you'll be working on a project with someone and then they're just gone. People get magically laid off right before the 3 year 401k vestment period would have ended and the matching funds disappear.

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.
