Pros

I love the team I work on and they allow me to flex-up and take on more ownership. The people at my level are young, and fun and it leads to a great culture. I've been able to learn a lot and have developed very quickly here.

Cons

The main issue is compensation. Compared to other firms, Kantar is very weak in terms of being able to offer competitive salaries, bonuses, and benefits. Work-life balance can be a drag at times (on busy weeks I'll work ~50 hours), but generally, it's not so bad as long as you're mentally prepared for it.

Pros

I see none except if you enjoy 100% remote as the only option (no one works with the camera on so bonus if you like that)

Cons

Sexist, helicopter and micromanaging supervisors. I left a few months ago due to intense work hours of 70-80 hours per week. There is absolutely no balance, no culture, no redeeming qualities. The pay is deplorable and there is no room for growth. Take this job if you are desperate but do not mention the fact that you have kids, a spouse or are taking care of a family member as it will be used against you. My former supervisor would message me on Teams if I didn't respond to emails after 15 minutes!!!

Pros

Generous PTO. Work from home. Good starting salary for someone just out of college. Good company to have on resume. Not having a hard time gaining interviews Casual dress code

Cons

Management doesn't really take suggestions or listen to what employees tell them. Everything seems to fall on deaf ears. Team members are expected to pick up the slack of lesser team members. Like a sweatshop of churning out tasks. Raises very far and few in between. Promotions as well. Management is lackluster and disoragnized. Disorganized team, poor office morale. VP has no clue. Very understaffed. Office is trying to expand but everyone keeps leaving so there is not a lot of expansion. Very cliquey environment. Not much room for growth in this specific role. No one seems to care about office atmosphere as long as tasks are being churned out. Company would rather hire new people with no level of training than give raises and promotions to hard workers as an incentive. Managers give a BS speech about how pay is based off the national/regional average and the company gives us higher than average salary which is a blatant lie. Management doesn't seem to have employees backs. They do not fight for employees to have raises or promotions. They claim it is out of their hands which seems like some political BS. Often expected to take on more and more work at a harder level while not being promoted or given a raise. There is a village idiot running amok through the office who is disruptive and rude. The fact that this person works here is insulting to the rest of the employees and management has no addressed it. Office lacks transparency.
