Pros

Kantar Group gives you opportunity to tap into the wider Kantar expertise Consulting arm is more Market Research Plus than real consulting

Cons

Timesheet accounting and project costing is fundamentally flawed and skewed toward the organization's favour. Projects often have to be costed too optimistically which causes a lot of OT Pay is not competitive Leadership team has no team/retention metrics - they have sales KPI and often stretch teams to deliver more work at lower rates as they win more projects and lower prices

Pros

Hard working associates, mostly bright (and admirable) heads of department. Good benefits. Previous CEO seemed like a genuinely nice guy and would listen to you if you approached him about something.

Cons

There’s a lot of reasons why top notch talent has long jumped ship. Great at sounding smart…terrible at actually getting the revenue to avoid the wholesale data asset sell offs going on. Terribly overcomplicated product portfolios with inflexible solutions at higher costs than smaller leading agencies that have outpaced them. Department heads gaslighting everyone under VPs about performance when they aren’t winning the internal Hunger Games and are told to reduce headcount.
