Pros

Literally none - go somewhere else, Kantar is irrelevant

Cons

Where do I start... The work is mind numbing and boring - you sit for hours checking and rechecking data tables and surveys. A 10 year old could do the work. You get paid less than industry standard (which isn't a lot in the first place). Raises are unheard of, and bonuses are a distant, distant dream. Senior management are spiteful, hate each others guts, and generally rude people. People who are senior are only senior because they stuck around long enough. You are actually told to work more than 40 hours, and if you dont, you get in trouble. There is an insanely high turnover rate because people spend 8 months here and realize how absolutely awful it is Leadership doesn't listen to what people need. People are always mad or angry because everything thing goes wrong all the time.

Pros

Great people, opportunities to do interesting things and get great exposure early on in your career, fantastic people. Met some friends for life. In better times good social culture and a fun office environment.

Cons

A year of pay and promotion freezes has left people frustrated. Mixed messages around progression (one minute you’re ready and the next you’re not) and a tendency for the company to shoe horn you into a role that suits their interests rather than yours. Despite promotion opportunities supposedly being ‘lifted’ it appears more difficult than ever. Promotions definitely don’t go to the most deserving and the company seem happy to let good people go with minimal fight meaning gaps everywhere and reliance on inexperienced staff. Commercial success based on luck is over-valued. The kudos given to people who’ve sold something from an opportunity falling into their laps is laughable.

Pros

I had friendly colleagues whom I enjoyed working with

Cons

There is no feedback culture whatsoever. I had a line manager who was extremely passive aggressive towards me and was belittling me in front of my colleagues. There is no way that you can get through the politics of this place to report this kind of behavior and make some change
