Pros

Immense scope for learning. This is the university of market research in India. It is THE company to start with if you are interested in market research as a career. Exposure to various categories of FMCG research & a wide range of cutting edge research methodologies is a major plus point. Also, getting to work with the people who developed those methodologies is an added kick.

Cons

Absolutely no work-life balance. Extreme work pressure exists almost continuously.

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.
