Pros

Mintel offers a very healthy culture and is the primary reason many people enjoy working here. There's real camaraderie between colleagues and across departments that make it a really nice place to work. Beyond the peer-to-peer relationships, the majority of leadership is focused on the team. Its very typical for executives to know people on a first name basis, which offers an approachability that I think is unique for an organization its size. Management was earnestly interested in developing Mintel talent. Training from outside firms was frequent (some were better than others). Leadership was consistently suggesting various books and podcasts to their teams, which would then been discussed and applied to Mintel's business. Mintel has made a visible and vocal commitment to its DEI initiatives in recent years. The leadership team isn't as diverse as it could be, which the organization acknowledges. That said, there is an honest effort underway to be better, open minded, and committed to being as inclusive a place as it can be.

Cons

Mintel struggles with innovation in its product set. A fiscally conservative approach has allowed Mintel to navigate 50+ years of economic swings, but also makes innovation and investment in technology painfully slow. People are often thought of as the solution to problems that a more contemporary organization would solve with a scalable technological solution. Pay was consistently a challenge; a very good living can be made at Mintel, but other employers pay higher salaries.

Pros

Great environment, a lot of events and good people

Cons

Low salaries compared with other companies

Pros

The culture is truly great. Everyone on my team looks out for each other and every manager I've had has been great at making sure I'm not overloaded. The work-life culture is refreshingly sensible and the benefits are way better than my last job. Also the benefits are excellent. I'm not sure if it's because it's a British company and healthcare is guaranteed over there but they will pay for your health insurance deductible in full for a single-person policy, and the premiums are about half of what I was paying at my old job too. The healthcare policy also completely covers mental health visits

Cons

When I had my first interview they recommended I apply for the job the next level up instead, and so I was expecting it to pay more than my previous job, which was entry level, but they offered me the exact same salary as my starting salary at that first entry level position. It is still pretty good pay, and ultimately the increased benefits mean I'm better off than before, but coming from somewhere with a competitive salary I had been expecting slightly more.
