Pros

There are a lot of new, interesting projects happening across Kantar which is great to learn new things. Kantar is positioned to become a really attractive tech company. It has a lot of interesting problems it can solve and a large list of loyal, happy customers.

Cons

Business teams have too much ownership over projects and their deadlines. Teams struggle to appease business expectations without compromising architectural/platform vision which hinders project maturity from a technical standpoint. In other words, good ideas turn into technical debt quite frequently. Completely absent career progression.

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.
