Pros

Big name maybe. But may not last long

Cons

Losing loads of clients due to the same research techniques. Those directors level who had been in the companies 10+ years are nothing but dinosaurs waiting to be eliminated with the dawn of the industry. No upskilling, poor data analytics skills. Everything outsourced to India and very little accountability. Problems on workplace bully were swept under the rug and the Senior Management makes it very hard to do whistleblowing. You need to talk to the MD on who bullied you. Mind you, these dinosaurs work closely with the MD and they are the rainmakers (though some proposals are written by managers, and all they did was re-read and sign, and get all the commissions from it). The HR is entirely useless and will always side with the senior management regardless. Also, due to the paleolithic ways of reporting (PowerPoint, excuse me?), the executive needs to work till really late with low pay. If that's not a sweat shop, I do not know what is. Please invest in things like Tableau, PowerBi, and other visualization. Can't believe the big 4 is still using PowerPoint.

Pros

there is no reason... it's just a trap.. they will say good words and offer handsome package at interview drive at universities... but when to get actual cash in hand you might get half of that... as other portion has been deducted due to claimables and retaintion...

Cons

1) Pathetic management. they just don't have any work apart from poking their dirty nose in team mates life.. 2) They want to control your entire life... they think you are bonded slave only... 3) Even if you didn't notice meeting invite sent at morning 7:45 am and scheduled at 8:30 am.. they will call you start question you why in the morning your first job is not checking email. who not your ph do not have email configuration... if you say this is morning 8:30am .. they will give counter logic that if your spouse need a doctor at mid night will not you be going? how funny nah? 4) one of my colleague has been asked to run the model from hospital after said that feeling a bit well from high fever.. 5) they even stop communicating with you about your full and final settelment once you leave the company... searching new job to get rid of this trash soon..

Pros

-Provides exposure to variety of market research projects -Allows autonomy in the way that you work (Depends on team and boss) -Abides by their client-first philosophy -Ability to identify high performing individuals based on skills when they first join the company

Cons

-Poor communications management internally especially during the COVID-19 crisis where they had retrenched a few individuals but passed it off as they had resigned -Shared that tiered pay-cut would be given (higher rank take higher pay-cut) however, volunteered others for a higher pay-cut even though they were of lower hierarchy -High turnover rate with instances of employees leaving without a job during the pandemic (across various levels of hierarchy and function) -Overpromise but underdeliver: promises a lot to the clients but when it comes to delivery sometimes it falls short especially when clients are able to analyse them in-house -Workplace bullying was raised up during Townhall meetings but was not addressed adequately and supposedly swept under the rug with more restrictions in place when whistleblowing anonymously -Beware of working hours where due to high workload and poor planning from management, it is common in some teams to work up till 2-3am -Have not seen a positive change in workplace environment since initiation and forms a very toxic, unhealthy and dangerous environment -HR tends to use webinars and Employee Assistance Program as a quick-fix which unfortunately, does little to address the key issues which make the toxic workplace -Give credit when it is due and not for political moves during Ipsos honours (company's yearly appreciation event) -Lack of diversity within the workplace especially for higher ranking levels despite HR trying to push for programs (e.g. diversity) -Instance of company condoning and encouraging poor and/or toxic performance by promoting said individual
