Great leave policy, but also depends on the manager you get assigned
Work environment is quite decent, you have a bunch of young people you'll get to work with
Work life balance is better than most other MR agencies
Dislikes
Not enough training, there isn't a lot of learning
As an organisation, doesn't innovate too much, not open to taking risks in terms of the work
Salary is pretty sad, as are the appraisals, no matter how well you have been graded

People at the senior levels in the team are also involved in end to end project management. There are regular discussions about any given project.
Dislikes
Less resources are employed are maximum projects are undertaken. Holidays are not always free or relaxing. There are times when you are required to work on weekends and it is very normal for your boss to tell you about it.
Working hours are almost always extended.
There one should be having Vast domain knowledge and internal analysis life cycle in a broader view.
Dislikes
There is no upskilling.They are not recruiting any new employee.During the time of multiple deliverables there is breathtaking workload on an individual that the persona can collapse.Manager is very toxic and has no simple fellow feeling for his subordinates.Manager is least interested to take up any responsibility but assigns ample number of tasks to the people who uses to report to him.

There are different teams and you think one team is better than the other because few can hide their toxicity better than others, but eventually everything is just the same. what I like is that among so many sharks, if you are naïve and don't understand politics you will learn the tricks from the best.
Dislikes
If you don't know bengali Language, then please don't join. The teams talk is bengali all the time and at times it is very difficult to follow if you are the only non bengali person. They should rename themselves from Kantar Qual Bangalore to Kantar Qual Kolkata -2.
The senior management is filled with lies and deceit. Associate 0%of worth to their words. Surprisingly they were happy because they got close to 20% non-bangali people and this is very alarming. Considering the overall population of bengalis is just 7% in India.
Few problematic people thrive in the organization owing to the this culture. One has to be admitted in the hospital to get a sick leave, even then they praise how people were working from their hospital beds to meet the unrealistic deadlines set by incompetent managers.
Everyone works out of ChatGPT to meet these deadlines and the Boomer management can't differentiate between good quality work and ChatGPT findings.
The work culture is extremely toxic, and you are working under pressure all the time. Everyone has gone through mental and physical health issues within 2-3 months of working in the organization.
Seniors will promote you only if you are good at chamchagiri, and not when you are a true professional and follow professional ethics.
No work life balance, no good compensation. Everyone seems sad and depressed.
The seniors are watching you at all times, they are constantly looking at you and watching your move. some seniors are waiting for you to make a mistake and making this a big issue to make you the escape goat for all of their faults and shortcomings.
Please don't join even if you think the money is good, it is not because you end up paying hospital and therapy bills....Read More
