Pros

Since late 2018 there haven't been any.

Cons

Managers/Leadership - Once someone goes to management their focus is away from the product and how it performs and then shifts to how to squeeze as much money out of clients possible regardless of reliability. Doesnt depend on product performance (no matter if it is dated and never updated) it is only on you if you dont make numbers. All of the products are super dated and the only updates are to how it looks - never functionality. All Kantar wants is sales numbers - slapping new lipstick on a pig isn't going to make it more appealing. Yet the products get more and more expensive every year...weird How they treat employees - With them selling off to a VC fund don't expect any wage growth anytime soon. I also spoke with multiple employees who said they never saw a raise and they had worked there for 5+ years. Whatever base pay you start with is what you have for your tenure..do not let them tell you otherwise. They claim to offer tuition reimbursement or Job training for school that pertains to your role, but they will silo you into only "selling" and never give you money for these services. This would give you additional skillsets to market elsewhere and counter to what they are trying to accomplish. Will only offer training around selling kantar products and never growing industry knowledge There is no Job Growth. Company is constantly being bought out or consolidated and roles are consistently eliminated.

Pros

Ability to work from home and flexible schedule around appointments.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. Research Ops team now has more new people than senior and employees with valuable knowledge are under appreciated and unhappy.
