      Pros

      It is no. 1 marketing research company. There are some really smart people and thoughtful people out there. If you happen to work with them, you can learn a lot and grow quickly in terms of experience and knowledge.

      Cons

      As an international company, people working in the global headquarter can get promotion and recognition a lot easier than those who work in other countries. That is especially true for those teams where some team members are located in US and others are not.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I have held three jobs in four years and each position afforded me the opportunity to lead as an entrepreneur. I have been given the autonomy to set and execute on strategy. Naturally, there were constraints but these exist at every company and were not detrimental to what I needed to achieve. In addition, the company seeks to provide associates with stretch positions and does not pigeon-hole associates. I have seen 15 year veterans of the “Buy” business transition to the “Watch” business.

      Cons

      It took my quite some time to become acclimated to the virtual environment. Many people enjoy the flexibility of working from home. However, I am a relationship-oriented person and feed off of interaction with others. This is difficult but not impossible in a virtual environment. Work life balance is tough but this is not entirely the company’s fault. I put in the hours I believe are required to perform my responsibilities. No one is watching the clock nor have I have been questioned about my schedule.
