Pros

MMR allows people to second in offices all around the world, and to move ahead in their career at the same time. A truly global organization.

Cons

The type of work is not for everyone as MMR works with the biggest CPG companies in the world and on strategic projects. Not for coasters!

Pros

Nice co-workers and good location

Cons

Low pay & no overtime (no room for negotiation, you start at $47,000), long hours, no room for growth or clear path, vague feedback, constant micro-managing, inexperienced managers & overall management, does not encourage creativity. HR is a joke!! Another employee hit me in the middle of the workplace in front of other co-workers and he still works there (basically got a slap on the wrist). Their policy is "3 strikes then you're out" regardless of infraction. In the age of #MeToo and fostering healthy, diverse work environments, this place is way behind. HR and Senior Management did nothing to make the situation better and routinely made me feel like I was in the wrong. After the event, I was isolated, had no support and definitely felt like it affected my career. The utter lack of respect for female employees speak volumes, I would avoid this toxic place at all costs.

Pros

Ability to work remotely is about the only one that I can think of.

Cons

Where do I begin? MMR is a terrible place to work. To start, upper management creates shoddy research products/capabilities and just expects you to figure out how to use them. They sell these solutions to clients before they’ve been thoroughly tested, even when they don’t make sense for what the client needs and then you, as an employee who has to actually do the work, gets stuck trying to make these awful products work. Worst of all, voicing the challenges is not welcome. They just want you to drink their poorly mixed and bad flavored kool-aid, put your head down, and get on board. They micromanage, telling you not only what to do but how to do it. And finally, they truly do not care about you as a human being. I had to deal with a serious medical issue and they basically punished me for it. Just heartless. They also missed their financial goals every single month I was there. Steer clear.
