Pros

Best retail sales data coverage. Good life balance depending on your vertical and role. Mostly good people trying to do a good job (despite continued squeeze on resources and challenging technology). Good place to for early career to learn catman insights and retail analytics basics. A lot of work was done a couple of years ago as a prescriptive solution to build culture- some of it stuck.

Cons

Agile competitors are outpacing our ability for fast, predictive power. Increasingly clients just want the data for use in more cutting edge analytic platforms, or their own internal modeling. A lot of time is now spent policing client use of data. Also, there is clear focus on throttling down client facing talent and offshoring operational tasks. Senior client staff job scope, continues to expand as they absorb many accounting/finance/HR/operational tasks (without compensation).

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.
