Pros

Flexible in location of work and allows remote/hybrid working

Cons

The UK CPG management is the worst management I've come across with no respect for employees at lower levels. This company charged it's clients extortionately high RPI rates for contract renewals and said it was to cover increasing employment costs....what a lie! The employees of Circana UK didn't even receive a 1% increase to help with rising costs. Instead we got referred back to our petty bonuses. Sneaky is a good way to describe this company but also; unstructured. There is a toxic work culture where managers have been able to get away with things others would not tolerate (workplace bullying, forcing people out of jobs, gaslighting). Avoid joining the UK CPG team at all costs. This is not a reflection on the rest of the Circana business, just UK CPG.

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.
