Cons
B3 Intelligence ltd is a third-party vendor of market research products and services to bigger and more relevant market research companies. The company's main business recipe is selling cheap. The company sells tens and hundreds of hours of statistical, technical and analytical work for cheap, and is literally a textbook example of everything that can go wrong when selling unsustainably cheap products and services. The working conditions become dire, stressful and frustrating as the cheap recipe can only be sustained by a growingly high work volume. With the cheap prices, there comes the demeaning and many times insulting attitude of the clients. Due to the fact that they pay so little for their products, the clients cannot seem to be able to provide basic respect and courtesy to their B3 providers. The equivalent of "cheap" easily becomes "less value", "easily disposable", "fast discardable". As if the clients were not abusive enough, so it is the upper management. For example, the upper management doesn't believe slavery was a tragedy of the past history, as they casually mention how they would "crack the whip" of the employees if so and so deadlines or standards aren't met. Similarly, in a free speech democratic society there are often emails on how employees shouldn't talk to each other about company issues; they should only be addressed to the "understanding" upper management, of course, the same one who doesn't shy away from "cracking the whip" out of you, if necessary. Similarly, while the management eternally and desperately bows to their clients, and doesn't know how to compliment them more, they are not applying the same treatment to their own employees who are many times portrayed in antagonistic terms. The management always seems to operate with simplistic "us" vs. "them" oppositions internally and you'll soon find out that it is actually the employees who are the source of every problem in the company. Understanding the root causes of structural problems as well as why and how come they repeatedly happen is not in management's interest. Bringing up any issue that might involve them is paramount to growing and exacerbating the "us" vs. "them" opposition; in fact, mentioning any problem at all becomes your own problem for even bringing it up. Throwing the dead cat into the neighbour’s yard and victim-blaming mechanisms are at best at B3. But this is as much as one can twist realities to suit the views, because at the end of the day, black is never white and no one was born yesterday to not fully see through all this. B3 manages to successfully measure and portray their own race to the bottom as well as all their levels of moral failure and human degradation.
