Pros

- It's a very stable, big company - I loved my job and every single task I did there - Young colleagues were really fun to work with - Great compensation and benefits package!

Cons

- A LOT of bureaucracy - Local senior team wasn't very professional - There was a lot of politics involved in career decisions, which to me, was the worse of all - Not many opportunities for growth, which unfortunately happens a lot for Market Researchers when you're on the client side

Pros

Excellent high quality coworkers Good pay Autonomous work

Cons

Teterboro facility extremely lacking compared to competitors. Overall, US is de- emphasized globally while representing a large portion of consumers. Being a Euro centric company, they haven’t figured out how to crack the US market. Pls note Dr Bertram is no longer CEO (hello Glassdoor!)
