Pros

- depending on your team / department, exposure to different types of studies / projects. - well known MNC. looks good on your CV if you intend to continue in market research.

Cons

- upper management generally aren't able to manage client expectations, giving in to ridiculous deadlines set - only managers and above are entitled to bonus. - very high turnover rate due to terrible work-life balance at all levels. - most of the studies are very repetitive, so you'd get bored after a while. - due to constant restructuring, difficult to move around if you're interested in other departments. - virtually zero relevant training. Training provided are generally complex solutions that are never utilized in client projects, or not useful to everyday tasks.
