Pros

- Great exposure and stepping stone for fresh graduates: Team structure by expertise means that we get to work with a multitude of clients across different industries - Flexible work arrangement: Bosses weren't absolutely strict on clock in time as long as work is delivered by the deadline; working from home was also an option time to time - Collaboration working spirit: The collaborative spirit in the company manifests in colleagues from other teams being willing to share and flow ideas quite easily - Single-minded focus on "Research Excellence": The company and management's pride and unwavering focus on delivering on research capabilities is a respectable quality - Employee engagement: Company goes out of the way to plan collaboration activities on a monthly basis and other side activities to encourage interaction.

Cons

- Overworked: Maybe characteristic of the market research industry, nature of work is time intensive and often deadlines are tight; often requiring additional hours (sometimes working up till 10pm) to finish work - Rewards and compensations: Bonuses fell below expected market rates: I received one-third month of bonuses for a "good year" in the business.

Pros

Plenty of opportunities and various locations

Cons

You work your tail off using gas, mileage, time, energy, tolls, and consistent but the authenticator who sit in the comfort of their home find any and everything wrong with the survey you fill out. Then, you don't get paid. Their portal that you are supposed to use while on location has connectivity issues or whatever reason they decide to blame it on. So far, I've lost $500.00 with this company. There are many other mystery shopping companies who don't try to cheat you out of money. If I had to guess, they use your pictures and get THEIR money but won't pay their contractors. I would suggest shopping for any other company besides Ipsos!
