Pros

Depending on the team/account, can be a good place to work with lots of flexibility. Again, highly dependent on the team. Decent amount of company holidays, remote work is available to most (if not all) US employees.

Cons

Can be a brutal workload if you get placed on the wrong team. Management seems to have a problem with overloading people with work that other people don't want to do, burning them out, then finding other people to repeat the process with. Some teams do basically nothing but just act busy and complain about everyone else. Declining base offers to new employees, not a good look. Also nobody on my team has had anything more than a 3% salary adjustment in over two years. "Unlimited" PTO, would much rather accrue time off/have the option to be paid out for time off. Some employees are eligible for an annual bonus, but this bonus fluctuates depending on the performance of the company as a whole and you really have no control over whether you get the full amount or anything at all - totally up to the discretion of the C-suite, which is stupid because they use this as a major selling point when you sign on.

Pros

Completely remote work. That's about the only pro.

Cons

Let's start with the IT department. A ticket goes in and it's easily ignored for 24 hours. And when you do get a response from IT it will take days, weeks for a computer issue to get resolved. All while your boss and clients are breathing down your neck to meet a deadline but you can't because IT won't fix your computer problems. How the IT department at Circana hasn't completely gotten fired and replaced is beyond me. We hear constantly from senior leadership - speed! Efficiency! - yet can't do that when computers don't work. The work itself: Mind numbingly boring. Circana tries desperately to be consultative and provide insights but they are so far from doing so. Impossible to make any kind of meaningful changes at the company b/c the culture is so slow and plodding. Constant org changes by a bunch of higher-ups who don't know what they are doing. Justify the changes with slogans and phrases but has zero understanding of how these org changes actually will work. Oh -- good luck Circana keeping employees when you don't provide even the basic cost of living increases.
