Before starting off I would mention that company provides a great environment to learn new skills. People are highly competitive, probably you will find few bad people but that is the case in every org. Few more good points are as below: 1. Work-Life Balance 2. Good place to start off your corporate career 3. Exciting team collaboration activities - instead of spending so much on collaboration activities, they should give people good salaries, that might help them bring down attrition 4. Secured job 5. Highly skilled crowd - Some people are actually good, but such people do not stay in the firm for long.

Dislikes

... bearable considering the industry 2. Political environment 3. Redundant work 4. Very less salary across levels as per industry standards 5. Top management-centric teams - you won't get much leadership exposure at the junior or mid-level positions, which is the biggest drawback. 6. Very few leaves - people get leaves based on manager favoritism 7. High attrition - some teams have very high yearly attrition, as high as 25%

Salary is the best out of the top 3 big companies in market research and that is the only positive aspect. It still feels low when compared to the amount of work done or hours spent on completing day-to-day tasks.

Dislikes

...s absolutely no work-life balance as the teams are severely understaffed always. Have to work extra hours almost every day without any extra pay. Also have to work on weekends/ holidays, etc. There is no comp off or additional pay for this as well. There is no log off time in particular but we are expected to login on time in the morning.

Work culture and job security is the best thing at Kantar. Sports event like leather ball cricket, chess, carrom, badminton, football, walkathon etc. If you are a sport lover or health freak then this is for you.

Dislikes

Skill development and salary is something you will have to compromise if you want to be here. But if you are looking for long term stay in a single company it is the best.
