A very toxic Place

Senior research manager (qualitative)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are FEW researchers who are exceptionally good at their work, really like the work that they do but at a personal level the PERSON is extremally difficult to work with. When I say EXTREMELY - IT MEANS 4 TEAMS HAVE BEEN DISSOLVED UNDER THAT ONE PERSON. If you know Bangali then you'd be a very nice fit, rest they don't care much about.

Cons

A very toxic space, they play mind games. Work load is a loooot, they expect you to not have a personal life. Middle management and senior management is at best mediocre. Good people have left. I also feel that some of the practices followed are outdated and can be easily replaced by AI. The jobs will get redundant after a point of time, something KANTAR is not prepared for.

Does not differentiate itself from other companies

Business Outlook

Pros

The excellent initial salary was a pleasant surprise, and the great tech stack made my job both efficient and enjoyable. The friendly office atmosphere created a welcoming environment, and the good coffee was a daily perk. The enjoyable parties were a highlight, fostering a sense of camaraderie among teammates

Cons

There was a noticeable lack of professional growth forecast, leaving employees feeling uncertain about their career paths. The absence of flexibility made work-life balance a challenge. The culture of competitiveness and showoff created unnecessary tension in the workplace. Additionally, it was clear that some members of the management team were unprepared for their positions, and salary adjustments consistently fell below inflation. To make matters worse, certain groups of employees were also denied an annual bonus, which was disappointing and demotivating.
