Pros

- Great exposure to various industries and markets - Opportunity to work with large brands - Very involved in the market research projects from start to end - Relatively younger demographic, people from junior-mid level ranks get along well

Cons

- Extremely poor work life balance that has been going on for far too long. Upper management is intent on reducing manpower, no intention to replace or hire additional support when people leave. Juniors are tasked to handle tedious operational checks, report writing and project setup with limited support and tight deadlines, resulting in late night OTs being a common sight. The workload between junior-mid level and upper management often feels disproportionate. Resourcing proves to be futile as senior level/ managers do not try and alleviate workload from juniors as it is supposedly not "profitable" for them. Upper management keeps throwing out 'automation' for more manual, time consuming tasks but it never gets implemented lol. - Upper management needs to be more receptive to feedback. All talk about Kantar being a flat hierarchy when it is the opposite. They single out those who are more vocal, and are defensive and dismissive during feedback sessions - Lack of proper training on accounts and categories.

Pros

You get to work for well known clients

Cons

They overwork you and make you slave away at dull mediocre mostly administrator tasks such as inputting values from a data table into a PPT graph. There is no time or no real interest in getting graduates involved in higher up strategic thinking.
