Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

What can I say? The management have neglected the business and its employees for years. Kantar are big fans of towing the party line of "people are out main asset", but this does not translate on the ground. Everyone is working defensively. There is a culture of blame. It got worse after the Precise/Kantar Media merger. The Precise management team took their foot off the gas and their superiors did not seem to care. This left a trail of destruction that will take many years to put right. In the meantime, the original Precise management have all departed. Morale is very low. There is no reward for work. No praise. The lack of communication is the worst I have ever known in a company. One colleague described it as a "fear factory".

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
