. - Research Design Assistant Mercaplan Employee Review

Compensation is good but only if you ask for it and only if management like you. Exposure to wide range of projects/categories in the marketing field

Rituals of humiliation from management and a workplace culture based on fear. Poor team collaboration. Excessive ego among leads, which prevents executives and assistants from growing/learning. Unethical research and reporting practices — they often aim to please the client, leading to strong confirmation bias just to sell. Lack of team organization — no daily meetings, no 1-on-1s, and in teams where they exist, they’re not respected. Management is extremely rude, and the leads are also abusive — they project a false sense of support. Micromanagement to the 100000% but at the same time they expect ownership of the problems they don´t want to deal with. Super incoherent. Lack of support — not even Human Resources knows how to deal with the bosses, and any sense of justice goes unnoticed.

The experience you get is the best thing.

Unrealistic workload. Unrealistic deadlines. Understaffed. Work-life balance is non-existing.
