Pros

Good product, Good penetration of clients.

Cons

This is not the same company as NPD. NOT EVEN CLOSE. NPD had a wonderful culture. The company was sold as is now owned by Private Equity. Employee benefits have been stripped, layoffs are routine, cost cutting at the expense of client satisfaction is evident. Private equity ownership merged the company with IRI and the NPD leadership and employees are being pushed out. The atmosphere has become toxic.

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.
