Pros

Reputable company. Nice people, including the CEO. Flexible working hours, opportunities to work from home occasionally. Possibly good career opportunities if you are lucky.

Cons

Extreme favoritism. Things were going fine when I was fired out of the blue for vague "performance issues," despite the fact that my performance never seemed to be a problem when I was working on weekends to help finish projects or meeting crazy client deadlines. They'll get rid of you right in time to avoid paying your bonus and leave you with no health insurance and no outplacement assistance. If your manager likes you, you're immune from this treatment. To be fair, I think this could depend a lot on what group you are in, but this was certainly my experience.

Pros

Having worked for a number of other companies, I can say honestly say the culture here is great. The people all around are always approachable and genuinely willing to help whenever and wherever they can. The company itself is always looking for ways to improve, which creates opportunities to do things differently and be creative. This is BIG for someone life myself! I can't stand the status quo when things can be improved. I generally don't write these reviews but I truly enjoy working at Ipsos and want to be sure others can see that! I know that I myself read these reviews prior to joining.

Cons

If your looking to put your head down and float under the radar, this is not the place for you.
