Pros

- Nice office in Porto Matosinhos - Good starting salary - Nice projects to implement with interesting technologies and challenges

Cons

- Toxic management that spreads a toxic work environment between co-workers - Promotions based on fake visibility and personal friendships instead of real value and effort - The above point creates a toxic competitive environment where some people influenced by this, are more willing to let others sink instead of collaborating and actually delivering value to Kantar - As you can imagine Kantar does not benefit at all from this, because people are competing and showing-off instead of delivering - Only managers and seniors have bonuses - Daily mandatory sync calls at the end of the day usually to talk about mostly nothing (that time could be used to actually work and then switch off, but no, we have to sit there and listen and lose half an hour of work and even more sometimes) - Strict mandatory 2 days per week at the office. If you can’t make it, you have to provide a plausible reason to your manager (and the managers will decide if it is plausible or not)

Pros

This company offers a standout work environment with the flexibility of time off, allowing employees to achieve a healthier work-life balance. The remarkable connections and camaraderie among colleagues create a positive and collaborative atmosphere, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support. Furthermore, the company boasts an impressive client portfolio, providing employees with opportunities to work on exciting projects and develop valuable skills. Overall, the combination of flexible time off, strong interpersonal connections, and an excellent client portfolio makes this company an appealing place to work.

Cons

This company's constant leadership changes and restructuring have created an atmosphere of instability, making it challenging for employees to establish a sense of direction or stability in their roles. The lack of consistent leadership has led to unclear communication, disjointed strategies, and a general feeling of uncertainty among the workforce. This frequent restructuring not only disrupts workflow but also hampers employee morale, as the team is left grappling with frequent changes in management and organizational structure. Overall, the company's struggle to maintain stable leadership negatively impacts both the organizational culture and the effectiveness of its operations.
