Pros

Ipsos UU is a good place to work if you are interested in qualitative market research. The pay is not superior to jobs at other qualitative companies, however it is pretty standard. The work environment is pretty laid back as well. The Project director role is ideal for someone who is just starting out in the market research business and wants to get exposure to big-name Fortune 500 CPGs companies.

Cons

The pay is nothing to write home about. Opportunity for advancement is there, but will take a while to get to the position you want to achieve. Also, the management and HR culture can be evasive when communicating with PDs.

Pros

Plenty of opportunities and various locations

Cons

You work your tail off using gas, mileage, time, energy, tolls, and consistent but the authenticator who sit in the comfort of their home find any and everything wrong with the survey you fill out. Then, you don't get paid. Their portal that you are supposed to use while on location has connectivity issues or whatever reason they decide to blame it on. So far, I've lost $500.00 with this company. There are many other mystery shopping companies who don't try to cheat you out of money. If I had to guess, they use your pictures and get THEIR money but won't pay their contractors. I would suggest shopping for any other company besides Ipsos!
