Pros
I would have said brand value for your CV, but the rebrand from Kantar to Verian has negated even that. The colleagues were incredibly intelligent and experienced and I learned a lot from them.
Cons
Atrocious work culture, especially for long term employees who get taken for granted. Long hours, no overtime pay, and little recognition for picking up extra work. Since they were bought up by a private equity firm, everything has been in transition, along with cost cutting measures (including a number of redundancies). Employees were just expected to deal with significant transitional mistakes on top of regular workload, and senior leadership took no responsibility. No consideration for impact on mental health, and an especially bad place to work as a minority of any kind, as it's mainly full of posh white folks. All senior leadership is white men who are steeped in their privilege. Would not recommend as a place to work, despite some amazing government contracts (which I expect them to lose sooner or later, as they haemorrhage their best researchers).
