      Pros

      It used to be a great place to work until a private equity firm made a significant investment in the company and took it private.

      Cons

      The company is in complete disarray at the moment. It is making too many cuts and letting too many talented people go. The decision to sell off four profitable business units to Ipsos was a blunder of epic proportions.

      Pros

      Some decent coworkers Able to work with the US teams

      Cons

      Senior management are NOT transparent Salaries are at the very low end and pushing robbery. Combination of being understaffed and not enough work which is a rarity It is a revolving door for employees coming and going because they cannot retain their employees Job descriptions not produced when asked for them Limited career development - hesitant to promote Bad location Senior management constantly have mood swings

      Quality of experience will depend on your direct manager. So it´s a hit or miss.

      Pros

      Work life balance is respected. Female colleagues were allowed to take extended leaves for family reasons

      Cons

      Senior Management takes a hands off approach, and does not get involved in addressing pressing issues. Also, the company is run like a family business so it is at the mercy of volatile mood swings by senior management
