      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Long-term reputation in media field No direct competitor in TV Ratings

      Cons

      Private equity group buy-out was "death knell" to a legendary leader in media & marketing research. Ongoing company-wide layoffs each year. U.S. workers replaced by 3-yr Visa workers from India through Tata Industries. Poor management. Horrible, defeated morale of workers.

      Meritocracy is a motto, not a value they live by. Senior Management manages by cliches, not through leadership.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company has a good name recognition in and outside the industry.

      Cons

      Executives rotate through business units in 3 year cycles, hence they make short term decisions and don't invest in people or innovate new products. Executives just want their numbers to look good and then leave the problems for the next Executive rotating through.

      Do Less With More And Stress The Hell Out Of Your Employees

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay is "OK" but could be better. The opportunity to make your schedule is nice but its almost impossible to manage. Company car and other small perks.

      Cons

      When the job was good, it was a fun place to work for but it is no longer. The main focus of the company is to "do more with less." I have seen several people go over the years and more work be added while not giving the proper resources to complete the job in a quality manner. Very hard to move up in the company unless you move.
