Pros

There are still a handful of very high-quality market research pros working there. The acquisition by Escalent offered additional research solutions to customers.

Cons

Two acquisitions (first Omnicom, then Escalent) decimated a once great culture and business. The people, mission, and unique service model were always a differentiator for C Space. New ownership came in with dated strategies and little appreciation of culture and community, but a big appreciation of margin. This is not necessarily a criticism, more a recognition of what happens to a company when it is owned by a distressed PE firm (Symphony Technology Group) You know where that story ends.
