Pros

Good benefits - medical, dental, vision, 401k, legal services Walking distance from Citywalk

Cons

Very poor communication among departments and between companies under the Kantar umbrella. A big issue I ran into was that Millward Brown would market specific methods/services to Added Value as established practices, but our MB colleagues would tell us that the work was new. NO TRAINING - it is understandable that a project manager would need to know how to run market research studies, but the company uses multiple systems and provides no training on using the system. A lot of employees are confused about business rules and typical procedure. It leads to a lot of issues when working with other teams. Very inefficient - there are a lot of meetings that seem unnecessary, and the way the company is structured makes the process of running a project take longer. Lack of guidance for new employees. Employees are expected to find the answers themselves or ask questions, but employees who had been with the company some time appeared to be annoyed when asked questions.

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.
