Pros

Immediate colleagues and shift pattern - managers made sure staff took their holidays. Free milk, coffee and tea. H&S staff always on the ball.

Cons

Not much scope for career advancement. No training given to staff. Pay freezes almost every year. If one part of the business was doing badly then no one would get a pay rise. Sales staff would often promise clients the earth but Kantar management would take the money and not reinvest in staff and products.

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.
