      Pros

      Because it is a widely recognized company with a huge marketshare. You can jump from here to other jobs in the industry or elsewhere. Also decent benefits and salary - although not exceptionally so.

      Cons

      It is hard to advance - senior management is not always competent or very clear about decision or directions they are leading the company in. People seem to get promoted not necessary as the right person for the job but rather because of nepotism or other reasons. This is and will continue to be discouraging to many of the employees in including myself.

      Pros

      Flexible, good work-life balance. Fairly good resources, if you are interested in a market research career. Broad business portfolio means exposure to many different businesses. Some very smart and knowledgeable individuals, especially on the quant and statistics side.

      Cons

      Big and bureaucratic company. Extremely, extremely, extremely political with very little value placed on performance Poor non-competitive compensation Company is in huge state of flux, so expect high degree of change and uncertainty
