Pros

Sometimes it feels nice to go into the office because of how spacious it is, but being forced back was a nightmare for most of our teams. we would get there to full seats at the CHRO and CEO's requests and then there was no actual work for any of us to do.

Cons

Kantar lies to candidates and employees about their initiatives to promote and grow your career at the company. Kantar's executives have to say this to keep their numbers high, hoping for a Bain Capital fund injection or an IPO. The more heads they have working on a google or uber client project, the more they can bill clients, and then you get let go. It's a terrible work environment and the CSuite Execs in NYC are the poorest of leaders in the business. All smoke and mirrors.

Pros

Great people who care about your growth

Cons

The new NA Insights CEO is taking the company in the wrong direction. Doesn't care about employees and mainly cares about doing something huge to pat himself on the back with

Pros

-Some offices don't drug test -You can look for other jobs while you're here.

Cons

PLEASE read if you're about to take a role here. Management is not on your side, Bain Capital ownership means they're stripping away the few perks of working here (PTO). The average work week here for junior employees is 50-65 hours a week, while senior management is never online or perpetually on leave. The average tenure here (assuming you're not layed off) is 8 months to a year. Please be skeptical of the 5 star reviews you're reading, this company has been laying people off and it's impossible that someone could have a 5 star view of this company at this present time. This company is in structural decline, I urge anyone taking on a job to research the financials of a company before taking on a role. This review applies to all Kantar offices, domains, and sub brands. Anything with a K, your experience will be like this. You can get a role somewhere better if you just keep applying! Believe in yourself!
