Vantaggi

- Nice office in Porto Matosinhos - Good starting salary - Nice projects to implement with interesting technologies and challenges

Svantaggi

- Toxic management that spreads a toxic work environment between co-workers - Promotions based on fake visibility and personal friendships instead of real value and effort - The above point creates a toxic competitive environment where some people influenced by this, are more willing to let others sink instead of collaborating and actually delivering value to Kantar - As you can imagine Kantar does not benefit at all from this, because people are competing and showing-off instead of delivering - Only managers and seniors have bonuses - Daily mandatory sync calls at the end of the day usually to talk about mostly nothing (that time could be used to actually work and then switch off, but no, we have to sit there and listen and lose half an hour of work and even more sometimes) - Strict mandatory 2 days per week at the office. If you can’t make it, you have to provide a plausible reason to your manager (and the managers will decide if it is plausible or not)

Vantaggi

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Svantaggi

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
