Pros

Kantar is superficially nice, like the west coast - they say the right things, celebrate Pride and diversity, etc. Work-life balance is good.

Cons

Their primary product is restructuring - they are owned by a private equity firm with inscrutable goals that is constantly shuffling people around, laying them off and hiring new people for less money. The executives try, but there are too many of them and it's abundantly clear that they don't really have that much power to do anything, so they get inflated job titles instead. The layoffs seem completely random - you'll be working on a project with someone and then they're just gone. People get magically laid off right before the 3 year 401k vestment period would have ended and the matching funds disappear.

Pros

Global and known, premium pricing, few good leadership

Cons

Aggressive, toxic, no salary hike beyond 3%, rude executive directors click and CEO, no bonus. The female leadership is especially toxic as they feel the need to prove themselves desperately to the ceo. Bonus only to seniors. High churn and very low motivation.

Pros

Has potential to be a great place, with different team leads. It was my first time working at an organization in Canada, and Kantar helped to provide experience. They are a big name in the industry.

Cons

Team leads don’t know how to manage a team. One team lead in particular comes close to harassing junior team members, she creates a work environment that is hostile.
