Pros

A good place to start your career in research, if you are inclined towards market research and allied roles. Good working atmosphere, they take your weekends very seriously. Pray you get to work under a good manager. You would learn to present your ideas and make beautiful presentations.

Cons

Bias is rampant, better be posted at London for career growth. No structured career model. KPI's non existent, vague targets. No salary bands, you get what you can negotiate with.

Pros

- I enjoy the people I work with - Fun and friendly atmosphere - Company supports local causes and hence a fulfilling experience often - Some manager are supportive and understanding on the "unfairness" of senior management and try to work around the rules to help - Some managers are great mentors to help you guide and nourish your career - especially in the formative years of a young graduate - You can move laterally across 5 broad teams - Research, Sales, Account Management, Communications and Consulting

Cons

- Currently going through a lot of structural changes leaving employees nervous about what next - A sales company before being a research organization and the company ALWAYS will look out for their own profits instead of working out win-win opportunities for employees -- hence in terms of profits they do see aggressive growth because of this "selfish" attitude - Complete lack of talent retention program - the attitude of senior management is that of "my way or the high way" - No long term growth - this is mostly dependent upon seniors leaving the company - A lot of the management reach where they are because they were there at the right place at the right time...or was the last man/woman standing or people who are willing to work at the often below industry standard salary that is offered - all in all - We end up with management who are not very experienced nor demonstrate great leadership skills - Already mentioned, salary is not very competitive and it is important that you negotiate hard for your first pay because subsequent raises are almost negligent - Rules can be bent but only when the senior management benefits from it - Lack of flexibility and trust in employees - to the point of micromanagement on issues where absolutely not necessary and almost insulting; - Senior management is sitting all the way in London/Chicago and only want to be involved in the "good news", when there are negative issues that needs to be addressed - they rather ignore it -- Most things don't end up to the CEO and most decisions taken by the VPs are on the "do this because I said so" basis and final; irrespective of unfairness - Did I say complete lack of talent retention and any kind of supportive HR team for that matter

Pros

- You get free fruit Tuesday & Thursday - Office located in Farringdon - You learn to value your next job after Euromonitor - Some really smart/cool people in the junior positions - they are bound to leave though

Cons

Where do I begin... - Middle managers are under qualified, power trippin', immature and unprofessional individuals. They will fight openly with each other/ their team, backstab, shift blame and have no problems lying to upper management - and to you! They are a joke to the teams they are running. - There is an odd vibe in the entire building - THE most quiet sales floor you will ever find. People are demotivated and unhappy. - The researchers are understaffed and overburdened. The quality of the data suffers massively; it is common knowledge that numbers are very inaccurate, even though management time and time again will say; "We have nothing to apologize for". Believe me - they do! - Low salary and unrealistic targets. Very few people meet them, although they will of course tell you otherwise. - No real chance of progression - but you wouldn't want it anyway. - Staff turnover is through the roof. They are not hiring because they are growing, but because so many people leave.
