Pros

Some of the colleauges, office and Technology only

Cons

Horrible work place, very toxic and full of dirty politics, clearly biased to one ethnicity, long working hours without any appreciation of any sort, below market pay and not any kind of mentoring just dumbing work at you to finish, they are laying off people to cut cost!

Pros

Some of the people are nice and should get out of there!

Cons

Terrible management within Kantar Media....I witnessed bullying and harassment by the senior management team on a regular basis. The MD is a snake and will backstab anyone and everyone to get to the top. Toxic work environment where everyone is too scared to speak up.

Unrewarding Experience, Lacked Fulfillment

Business Outlook

Pros

- They ask for your availability weekly, so shifts are scheduled based on what you tell them. - Flexible shift times and allocations. Great for university students.

Cons

- The contract requires you to work at least one weekend, but there’s no weekend pay rate. - Work is highly repetitive. You do the same tasks each shift, aside from occasional new scripts for different studies. - The role feels unfulfilling. It’s hard to see how the work contributes positively to society. I often felt like I was bothering people with cold calls, even when they agreed to participate. I’d prefer a job that helps people, not inconveniences them.
