      Culture Shift

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Outside of the executive suite the people who work here are great.

      Cons

      I would anticipate a culture change with a merger, but this wasn't a great change. We are all just working crazy hard and that’s it. Most of us are remote now so we have to be even more proactive with establishing our culture. We need to take into account the human aspect of things. Asking about each other. Caring about each other. Many of the new leaders at Circana don't take that same approach. For example, we had a product town hall and there was an executive who was very cavalier with how he approached recent layoffs with everyone on that call - like it wasn’t a big deal, cost of doing business, nothing to be concerned about and that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way – especially on the heritage NPD side as this is where many of the layoffs occurred. These were people we have established really close working relationships with. Smart people who cared about the work they did that we have known for years. People we cared about. And it was just dismissed as a casualty of doing business. Probably could have been handled better.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, we appreciate it. We are sorry to hear that you have not had a fully positive experience with the changes. As we continue to integrate both heritage companies into one Circana, we remain committed to improving the employee experience at all levels; this includes helping ensure that all employees demonstrate our seven Circana behaviors, including Commit to Each Other, which includes caring about each other. We have begun celebrating milestone anniversaries companywide, the information has been made available to everyone on our employee intranet site. Thank you again for your input, and we wish you all the very best in your career.

      NOT built to last

      Senior director of operations

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Work from home -Mid level management and associates for most part are nice people

      Cons

      Leadership is out of control No clear directions Private Equity is orchestrating massive layoffs every month. Any further reduction will collapse the company. The only thing that is saving the company are long term contracts that will buy them a few more years before the PE exits and leaves the company in the ruins.

      No care for employees

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Mostly remote work, though it depends on your team and client. If the client is in person, you may need to be in person too. You will learn time management and you learn a lot overall about business. Okay for beginning of career.

      Cons

      Number one con is that you will have no life working at this company. This varies by client of course, but be very very careful. Overtime work is the norm, and people just act like this is normal and the company is fully comfortable allowing this to happen because people go along with it and make it work at the expense of their own health and sanity. Extremely stressful job, with 99% of requests being "urgent". I personally would not recommend working at this company unless you are very early on in your career and looking to learn, and willing to give up all your time and energy for it. Assume this is an 80 hours job unless they explicitly tell you that people don't work overtime in that specific team, and even then, be skeptical. Finally, I will just say it is absolutely disheartening to see what this has become because NPD was the best company I had ever worked for, and its wonderful culture is completely ruined after the merger. Very, very sad to watch.

      Thank you for your feedback, it is important to us. We are sorry to hear you are not currently having a great experience. It is not at all Circana's expectation that people work 80 hours per week and this is not our norm. We have remained committed to our flexible working environment (while many other companies have long reverted to requiring days in the office) and providing other resources that support work/life balance including our comprehensive benefits, our Wellness Hub, and other resources to specifically support our colleagues' well-being. In fact, our Commit to Each Other behavior is foundational to our overall culture here and it includes "caring about our Circana family and promoting each other's well-being." We recommend that you please talk with your manager and/or HR Business Partner to identify ways to support your work/life balance and well-being as you continue your career at Circana.
