Pros

I love the team I work on and they allow me to flex-up and take on more ownership. The people at my level are young, and fun and it leads to a great culture. I've been able to learn a lot and have developed very quickly here.

Cons

The main issue is compensation. Compared to other firms, Kantar is very weak in terms of being able to offer competitive salaries, bonuses, and benefits. Work-life balance can be a drag at times (on busy weeks I'll work ~50 hours), but generally, it's not so bad as long as you're mentally prepared for it.

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.
