Business Outlook

Pros

Great people to work with around the world Great services and products provided to Marketing Research agencies Good training provided upon arrival Regular meetings and feedback

Cons

Working with a network of colleagues around the world is sometimes difficult when you are not able to meet and discuss projects face to face Some of the night production team members not up to date on all the projects handled by the day team members

It is much better since 2009

Business Outlook

Pros

Management is focused and continues to work on improving the right areas of the company. There is no longer a new idea every week and a new boss every 3 to 6 months. People who were not contributing to the company's success were let go so those left are all working on the same areas of improvement. The systems and software platform are stable now so projects are almost never delayed becuase of system problems.

Cons

Many of the new managers do not know the market research industry very well so they are learning it fast.

Business Outlook

Pros

Intellectually satisfying environment with superior clients and resources demanding world-class work with an emphasis on impactful relevance, market leadership and continuous growth

Cons

WPP's short-term financial orientation drives out risk taking, real innovation and respect for the individual, especially if someone is not client-facing or deemed to be mission critical, even if facts indicate otherwise; internal investing takes a back seat too often to risky acquisitions; the people development part of the Kantar equation needs help
