Kantar Employee Reviews about "working hour"

Pros

Kantar Profiles Division - one of the best places to work. You get flexible working hours with 2 days work from home each weak and core hours from 10-4 (as long as you complete 7.5 hours a day). Depending on your client and responsibilities, you get a lot of flexibility in terms of how you work. Networking and taking initiatives is encouraged. You get regular feedback from your line manager, without any micro managing. Company consists of a mix of people from different cultures and background. Everybody is very welcoming, friendly and sensitive to other people's values and beliefs.

Cons

Needs a push towards use of new technology to manage teams and projects

Pros

A fantastic introduction as graduate or junior researcher into the ‘ins and outs of MR’. Lots of on the job training. Very open to employees working remotely.

Cons

The company structure prevents new researchers learning the entire research process ... the business is based on a seller vs. do’er model. Unfortunately, sellers promise unrealistic timelines, expectations, etc. to clients and it’s up to the do’ers to ensure it happens. The company is run like a sweat-shop and you have zero work-life balance. Your entire world becomes so consumed by the job that you have NO life outside of work. Working evenings and checking email outside of business hours and weekend are all part of the job. There is no loyalty to long-term employees and the knowledge they bring to the business. I watched numerous valuable employees who had worked there for many years let go and tossed aside. As an employee you just a number at the end of the day … the company is too large to really care about the individual. Having being a loyal Kantar employee for almost 10 years, I eventually cracked under the pressure and had a nervous breakdown. I was given no support and was forced out of the company with zero compensation. My husband says it was the best thing that ever happened to me and I couldn’t agree more … I now have now regained my life and have never been happier! For any current employees considering leaving … the grass is indeed greener on the other side :)

Pros

good and fun activities during working hours

Cons

no appraisal for the work you do

Pros

- You can learn market research from the best expert here - High-profile clients and you may present the finding to the C-level - Nice, friendly, and supportive teammates. - Generous WFH policy, unpaid leaves, and extensive learning sources. - Starting early 2021, workers can have an access to 24/7 Telepsychiatry (free consultation)

Cons

- Crazy long working hours where you can expect to work from morning to morning (typical research agency) - Complicated business process and some outdated tools for the project. - As the turnover is high, some teams have problems with manpower planning and messy work documentations. - Researchers no longer can work in various industries, we are expected to specialize in only one field (such as only FMCG)
