Pros

Smart people drive a fast-moving business forward and are responsible for generating their own insights and capabilities. Support is there, but you succeed at Kantar Retail by building your own brand and winning for your clients.

Cons

Little opportunity for advancement once you hit 3-5 year mark; most analysts go on to get MBAs so if that's not for you, you'll need to do some soul searching

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.
