Good learning and exposure. Most of the times you have to extend beyond your working hours.

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
Although you can learn a lot and your manager and team member will help you to go through the learning curve. But politics and extension beyond working hours is a norm. You have to work on weekends also sometime. You will get very good exposure here. Reworking is an issue and can be monotonous sometimes. Toxic work culture.

Fun work place

Basically work wise it is good company to work with. But if you have huge aspirations of working in IT Sector it is not for you. As this is completely new world of Marketing research. Working environment is very good. They many sports activities for people engagement best example is Kantar Premier League. 2-3 Outing in a year and occupational lunches and dinners

Pros

Occasional lunches and dinners, outings sports events like KPL

Cons

Less base salary

Terrible Management but lots to learn

If you are someone who constantly wants to learn, good because you will. But there's no work-life balance at least not in the team I was in. My direct manager was terrible, 3 months into joining, we had hardly chatted. She had belittled me when I decided to work from home one day. Everything depended on her mood & I hated it.

Pros

No such benefits, subsidized cafeteria prices, no special discounts. Just a yearly 15k benefit for purchasing WFH stuff.

Cons

Terrible management, you will have to figure out things on your own. My manager was terrible but my teammates were nice, so I could reach out to them for help. But yeah, nothing great.

Fun workplace

The workplace is good with helpful people / colleagues around. However, not much to learn. Politics at higher management level and growth is very slow.

A good learning place with not so great work life balance

It's a good place to learn within the market research domain but it becomes really difficult to have a work life balance across most of the teams. Salary benefits are okay but most of the people are burned out after a point of time.

Pros

Learning

Cons

Lack of proper work life balance

Helpful peers but no work life balance

Need to improve on work life balance. Need to find a way to co-ordinate better with teams sitting across the world. Some people end up working from 9 am to 2 am because of people sitting across the world

A process driven company

This organization allows employees to grow. Ethics and values are integral part of this organization. People and process driven company. This company has good appraisal and performance review mechanisms with variable pay systems. Also also good HR support to cater employee needs. Training needs are addressed on key essential areas by setting a yearly training calender. Seniors are suppoting employees in terms of day to day requirments and make them work at ease.

Pros

throws up more challeges

Cons

more quantum of work

Good learning. Horrible work hours and work load.

Promise too much to clients. Lots of work and few employees to service it. Comparatively low pay to other marketing roles ( eg. brand management ) and for the amount of output expected from employee. Good learning. Supporting team members. Overall depends on person, how they perceive it.

Pros

Motivating team members.

Cons

Overwork. Working on weekends. Comparatively low pay.

Culture

This is a local brand for Kolkata, people are good but culture for me can be far better. You may have to work till 4am in the morning. So think before you join.

overall good company with good pay benefits and good for fresher to explore new opportunities.

Recommended for a fresher to explore the opportunities and adapt to corporate environment but internal politics. One should be very careful while working with CS teams, if anything is wrong then you are done for the entire year. No hikes.

Despite being an MNC, the mindset of the company is of a startup

Despite being an MNC, the company acted very much like start up by laying off key people from the firm. With decades of operating as a major player in Research & Consulting field. It is unacceptable by the firm to lay off people rather than adjusting pay cuts or other measures...

Minimal salary not worth the stress

Working at Kantar was highly stressful, compounded by the low increments.. it was not worth it. Senior Management did not even try to change things to make life better. Very high attrition.
