Advice to Senior Management – If you are making major changes to graduate schemes, consult with the current graduates first, and then actually communicate what you are doing to EVERYONE - not just a couple of teams!

Former Employee – worked at Kantar Worldpanel

Pros – Excellent staff, Relaxed athmosphere, flexible hours when needed. Everything in the Dublin office is geared towards delivering the best service to clients rather than purely sales figures.

Cons – Account allocation was driven by account size in terms of revenue rather than the amount of work involved in servicing the client, and as such was unfair. Leadership and communication from the management team was lacking at times; important information was on occasion not relayed to clients quickly enough

Former Employee – worked at Kantar Worldpanel

Pros – -Extremely interesting material that you work with
-A lot of training and encouragement to participate and ask questions
-Great people and a fun working environment

Cons – -Long hours right from the beginning
-A lot of tactical and repetitive work
-Not much room for providing ideas to senior management

Advice to Senior Management – Great idea to allow all levels of employees to interact and work with clients as this really puts employees at the front lines of the company which is important.
