How are the career growth opportunities on the Design team at Kantar Retail?
Nonexistant. They never promote from within, and would rather hire an outside agency then add another resource.

It is very fractured and territorial, with all user experience falling under development's hierarchy. The other creatives fall under marketing and branding, and are very siloed due to the nature of the creative directors.

The leadership at the mid-level is excellent, but the senior leadership is completely removed from reality, and is completely disconnected with the rest of employees

What do people at Kantar Retail think about the CEO? What do they do well and what can they improve?
Top Employee Response
The actual CEO is in another country and is very aloof. Sometimes it seems like the decisions, while fiscally are smart, can often alienate employees.
How's the work life balance at Kantar Retail?
The work life balance is actually really good, and managers are really great at advising when you should use it, and are not afraid to use it themselves.
If you could make changes, how would you improve the culture at Kantar Retail?
Top Employee Response
Senior leadership needs to start treating employees like people, and address the real problem instead of sweeping them under the rug. Another thing that is worrisome is how concerned with money the company is (single $'s), but has no problem spending tens of thousands on senior leadership meetups in foreign countries.
