Pros

Large company, big clients, good projects

Cons

Compensation is pathetic. You will receive an annual 1% "merit" increase, which will sometimes come before your manager has even started your review. If you qualify for a promotion and it is approved by your SVP, be prepared to wait a minimum of six months for it to be approved by the CEO. The company also just raised health insurance premiums by 30% (an extra ~$2000 a year for family plan). If you account for inflation, you will effectively make less money every year you work here. The company also offers no parental leave benefits beyond what is required by law, so nothing for dads ( you need to use your meager vacation time to see that baby) and six weeks disability pay / six weeks unpaid for moms. Good luck paying for childcare on your Ipsos salary!!

Pros

The people. We try really hard to keep morale up, even if it means we stand around venting about all the problems - or who is the most recent person to have escaped!

Cons

Focused too much on money. We have at least 3 meetings a week to discuss sales, but management doesn't want to ensure that there is someone available to work on the projects that are sold, or that the projects are executed properly/on time/efficiently. They literally wave their hand and call the meeting done if someone brings up an active project instead of a sales opportunity. Because of that, client service people are working 60-80 hours a week cleaning up the mess made by operations - who cut costs by any means (even at the expense of quality and timeliness) because they have profit goals as well.

Pros

Some colleagues are fun and I made some great friends. Office building is nice.

Cons

My experience at Ipsos has been nothing short of disappointing. From the first day it became painfully clear that this isn't a place for those seeking a supportive, inclusive work environment. It's like stepping into a high school cafeteria, with certain employees forming exclusive groups that dictate the entire office vibe. If you're not part of these cliques, good luck getting your voice heard or feeling like you belong. It's a toxic dynamic that hinders collaboration and stifles creativity. Upper management is completely disconnected from the reality of what's happening on the ground. Constructive feedback is brushed aside, and attempts to address concerns are met with dismissive attitudes. It's demoralizing, to say the least. What's even more frustrating is the blatant attempt to cover up the company's flaws. Every time a negative review surfaces on Glassdoor, it's quickly followed by a slew of suspiciously glowing ones, undoubtedly written by the HR department in an attempt to save face. It's insulting to the intelligence of employees and insulting to those considering joining the team. Unless you enjoy navigating through office politics and dealing with out-of-touch management, I'd advise looking elsewhere for employment. Save yourself the headache and find a company that truly values its employees and fosters a culture of respect and collaboration.
