Pros

* If you like market research, this is the place for you * Most employees can still work remotely * Senior executives communicate widely and frequently with the organization * Good Senior HR executive trying to make good changes for company culture * Company is global

Cons

* Company tends to repeat the same mistakes over and over * Very low salaries * Many employees in the U.S. have to work UK hours in order to keep up. Center of influence is in the UK * Too much overlap across roles and unwillingness to address the problem * Too many hostile executives trying to take over each other's function and causing headaches for employees * Deep layer of VPs protecting access to senior managers * Many managers that don't always fit company values * Many people get away with simply refusing to work with other teams * No collaboration and no trust even within small teams * Changes resulting from recent merger with another company are causing many people with great industry knowledge to leave or move to other divisions

Pros

Was able to work remotely

Cons

1. Not sufficient support on projects. 2. They put all new people on the same projects. 3. Everything is very labor intensive. Outdated tools and processes. 4. Department leadership did not listen to concerns or do anything about it. 5. The department lead was combative and tried to treat me like he owned me. 6. Not having a direct supervisor does not work well, there is no accountability. 7. Would NOT recommend working at this company.

Pros

Nothing comes to mind here..

Cons

Usually I am one to look at Glassdoor reviews and feel hesitant and think they are written by disgruntled employees which is sometimes true, but when it comes to Kantar I would recommend taking every bad review to heart. It is a company that claims to be mental health-friendly and it has destroyed everyone part of my mental health and my colleagues as well. They also try to get bad reviews removed so keep that in mind for their culture.
