Powerhouse toolbox & a great, positive culture

Pros

Kantar's big strength is in the strong expertise, tools, and approaches that can come together in a way to solve big, strategic client business problems in a way that no one else can. The tools in the toolbox make Kantar a powerhouse going into big client pitches that require significant investment. I have seen first-hand how this enables us to win in high stakes pitches. Kantar is full of very smart people that are really great to work with in a positive, smart culture that is a strong asset. The culture makes coming to work everyday a pleasure.

Cons

Mountains of admin tasks & inefficient processes that simply do not work & require an inordinate amount of time. If this does not get fixed, it is the one thing that will have me heading for the door. Oh - and also if the new leadership screws up the positive, collaborative culture, I guess that would, too.

Pros

- Unlimited Vacation - A lot of nice people

Cons

- Vacation time can sometimes be hard to take because of project timelines - Roles and responsibilities are not always clear - At times, leads can micro manage. - At times, leads are not very helpful when you have questions or they do not like to "get their hands dirty" with some of the day to day stuff that goes on during reporting. - Trainings are very high level, so they are typically not very helpful (you will learn how to do things by doing them)
