The Role
Kantar is a great place to start your career, with a wide range of industries and categories to work in - from Fashion to Fish.
I felt very valued by colleagues, not once during the year did I feel like a placement student.
I had multiple managers throughout the year, some were more supportive than others, but on reflection, it really is up to you to ask for help. When you do, the support is definitely there.
very, very busy (if you volunteer for everything)
I had my own clients (with contracts worth roughly 1/2m), weekly client onsites, presentations to CEOs and board members and sold projects.
We're going to find out this year if my degree will benefit.. I'm definitely glad I did this placement and I'm sure it will pay off
The Company
there's always a social or some kinda activity going on
Very well. There could have been more support earlier on, but it picked up after a few months.
They were always happy to say yes to any additional things I wanted to do.
Flexi Time
Sports and Social Club
National Travel
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Healthcare/Dental

I'm probably going to accept the graduate role offered.
The Culture
Yeah there was 12 of us that used to go out atleast monthly.
It's hanger lane, there's NOTHING around here. Make sure you consider that before joining.
