Vantaggi
Great brand name in the industry, great perks, and an array of paths within the research field. Experience across industries with a multitude of clientele. Freedom to develop your projects.
Svantaggi
Hire over qualified contractors and string them around with the promise of a full-time role, but never hire due to 'corporate constraints'. Creates a disconnect, and doesn't allow flourishing teams to grow. Spending millions of dollars and man power on an inferior technology product ( Boomer level management trying to compete with millennial technology out of Silicon Valley). Claims to be doing everything, including an office move, to 'attract and retain new talent' but never asked employees what would attract/retain them. No part in office move. Really doesn't pay that well. Average research associate at Nielsen makes 56K a year, whereas JD is at 42K. Associates get paid the same if they're living in LA (extremely high cost of living) or Michigan (extremely low).
