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

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.
