Pros

Sometimes it feels nice to go into the office because of how spacious it is, but being forced back was a nightmare for most of our teams. we would get there to full seats at the CHRO and CEO's requests and then there was no actual work for any of us to do.

Cons

Kantar lies to candidates and employees about their initiatives to promote and grow your career at the company. Kantar's executives have to say this to keep their numbers high, hoping for a Bain Capital fund injection or an IPO. The more heads they have working on a google or uber client project, the more they can bill clients, and then you get let go. It's a terrible work environment and the CSuite Execs in NYC are the poorest of leaders in the business. All smoke and mirrors.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
