Pros
- Opportunity to work with wide range of impressive brands - Variety of different types of interesting projects - Generally nice, smart and dedicated coworkers
Cons
- chaos continues to reign supreme at executive/ c-suite levels who are disconnected from employees - employee feedback is never actioned against in a meaningful way - lots of financial pressure to perform, even without necessary resources. Likely to increase as Bain looks to sell - highly political culture - DEI is unfortunately not part of Kantar’s DNA. Highly perfunctory/ performative approach to do the minimum and check the box - client prices increase with inflation each year due to higher labor rates because of inflation, but employees are not given (at a minimum) the same inflationary cost of living salary increases each year - right now, morale is very low and burn out is very high across the organization. Nobody flourishes when permanently in survival mode, and this has led to a significant erosion of energy, motivation, engagement and drive among employees
