Pros

- Kantar is okay for a first job as it offers exposure to global and regional studies. - [per case to case basis] If you're lucky, you'll be assigned to a manager/senior that actually cares about your career progression and growth in the industry - they very competitive employee benefits

Cons

- no work-life balance - long hours, no overtime pay to promote "work-life balance" - go above and beyond for a "meets expectations" rating

Pros

Hard working associates, mostly bright (and admirable) heads of department. Good benefits. Previous CEO seemed like a genuinely nice guy and would listen to you if you approached him about something.

Cons

There’s a lot of reasons why top notch talent has long jumped ship. Great at sounding smart…terrible at actually getting the revenue to avoid the wholesale data asset sell offs going on. Terribly overcomplicated product portfolios with inflexible solutions at higher costs than smaller leading agencies that have outpaced them. Department heads gaslighting everyone under VPs about performance when they aren’t winning the internal Hunger Games and are told to reduce headcount.
