Better in the past but getting worse since the CEO change two years ago. - Senior Account Manager Ipsos Employee Review

Pros
Great people to work with, helpful and collaborative. Good PTO and holiday time off. Can move up pretty quickly if on the right team and good at your job, though some teams seem to promote much slower than others. Hybrid environment where offices stayed open but you get to decide if you want to come in; negative to that is offices can feel empty almost all the time.
Cons
Job security was more important in the past and the company seemed to put a big emphasis on that. Since the new CEO came in about two years ago, I've heard of more layoffs than during my whole time at Ipsos. Moral is down and the company now has a strict no T&E policy unless specifically for a client, further distancing teams not in the same city. Work-life-balance can be horrible at times, or even throughout the entire year for some people, completely burning them out. Pay is also low compared to other companies and upper management doesn't seem to care. Seems like a lot of people have been quitting recently due to all of this and I know of many more who are actively trying to leave.

Pros
I have worked here for a couple of years and have always felt that my development was prioritized. My team has made sure I was growing to reach my fullest potential and I was ready for the next step in my career. We also are still fully remote which has been nice since everyone else has been forced in around the workforce.
Cons
The company is going through some rough patches and are cutting back on benefits, plus not trying to hiring much help when the workload has been getting overwhelming. My work life balance is kind of slipping, plus I'm overworked.
