Pros

Remote work 100%. Good relationship with some of my coworkers..

Cons

Upper management clueless. My manager’s manager is always making mountains out of a molehills. The pace of tasks/projects is not sustainable. People in my department are burnt out. Everything is an emergency and very little time given to analyze and resolve a problem before 2-3 more are piled on. People become disenchanted and morale is super low. Not a good place to work for. Excessive micromanagement. Insane amount of documentation for simple tasks. Convoluted processes that only waste people’s time. Is like shoveling chit against the tide.

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.
