Pros

The people (for the most part) are great. Unlimited time-off. Great benefits. Get to work remote or hybrid in some offices.

Cons

2 years ago I would have (and did) suggest Kantar to people as a place to work. We then went through a re-org and it has been a very fast down-hill fall from there. So many accounts are no longer profitable, the company overall is performing poorly, it feels like people are getting laid off or leaving every other week. Senior levels/leadership is getting promoted but no one lower is. Pay is lower than the current market and raises/bonuses were put on hold this year. The current team model does not work and has created inefficiencies (we should go back to CL/PL), has caused unskilled senior leaders to have ownership over projects, and overall morale has plummeted. The company needs a major overhaul and a close look at lower employees who deserve to be promoted and paid for their skill and contributions.

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.
