Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

What can I say? The management have neglected the business and its employees for years. Kantar are big fans of towing the party line of "people are out main asset", but this does not translate on the ground. Everyone is working defensively. There is a culture of blame. It got worse after the Precise/Kantar Media merger. The Precise management team took their foot off the gas and their superiors did not seem to care. This left a trail of destruction that will take many years to put right. In the meantime, the original Precise management have all departed. Morale is very low. There is no reward for work. No praise. The lack of communication is the worst I have ever known in a company. One colleague described it as a "fear factory".

Pros

I get to work with interesting topics, and occasionally on other projects depending on my skills. Nice and chatty staff and overall good atmosphere in the office. Great team manager and colleagues! Gender balance is pretty much 50/50, there is a kitchen with tables to sit, and the entrance door is broken most of the time. You get two extra days of holidays after one year, followed by one day per year until you reach the limit. The awful HR team was outsourced to France! The hot chocolate is good and you get paid overtime.

Cons

Career advancement prospects are low and no salary increase! A lot of projects are outsourced and chunks of the night and day teams were outsourced to an Indian company, which does a terrible job. If you hear that your work will be replaced by Wipro then run for your life. Only 20 days holiday in your first year + public holidays, which is only 27! Windows can't be opened, poor ventilation and the occasional rat running around. The coffee is terrible! They also take donations from staff that they give to charities, which they later brand as money coming from their own profit, the dammed scroungers.
