Pros

Nice people. That's about it. A few perks like a company picnic and office is in a good location. Good for young junior planners that need time to learn what they are good at.

Cons

Anyone with 8+ years of brand strategy experience in creative agencies will hate the day-to-day work trapped behind the glass of focus group facilities and a portal for their smartphone ethnography. Some of the people are smart but are the opposite of innovative and progressive - this is a research shop guised as a strategy firm and most of the work is making ppt hardly useful beyond a research client. Blech- look elsewhere.

Pros

-A chance to work on some name-brand clients -A good opportunity to test out a life in market research -1/3 of the work is amazing, thoughtful, and impactful

Cons

- A (mostly qual) research shop cos-playing as a strategy consultancy - Very few leaders and sr.managers have advanced social science degrees (which is odd for a research shop) -If you believe in delivering quality work to sr. clients, you'll be logging some epic hours (never in my life have I seen this many people quit) -2/3 of the work is full of vanilla findings (due to time constraints) -Incentive structure for bonuses influences decision-making that contributes to employee retention issues
