Migration to shared services = a very badly lead disaster.

Senior it manager

Business Outlook

Pros

It's part of Kantar, a global market research company. There are still some good people around.

Cons

The top level leadership has been systematically purging staff with tenure and if replacing them with cheap overseas labor. Blaming the workforce instead of management incompetence and bad planning. Trying to paper over the cracks and make it sound a great place to work. It's not.

Interesting Work, Horrendous Work/Life Balance

Project director

Business Outlook

Pros

I was involved in an multi-country segmentation project with a large global client, which allowed for international travel. Overall, interesting project.

Cons

Work/Life balance was unsustainable - Regularly working 12 hour days and weekends. At one point the team was required to pull an all nighter and I ended up working 30 hours straight...absolutely ridiculous. Senior Management - Nothing was done to help a severely overworked team when a senior-level person left mid-project. Given the amount of revenue being produced for the project and the importance of the client, I was shocked that another senior leader didn't step in to guide the project. Salary and compensation - Given the long hours, the salary was unacceptable. Entry-level folks were making less than minimum wage if you calculated it on an hourly basis. Promises were made of generous bonuses that ended up being less than $2k.
