Pros

Working at Ipsos gives a breadth of knowledge about a variety of industries in the region you work in (most work is not just local - it is also regional). Working within the marketing department specifically gives you the flexibility of working on structured/templated solutions as well as tailored research.

Cons

For those looking to stay in research for a long time, Ipsos is ideal. However, the work/life balance is almost non-existent if you'd like to truly succeed here. For those looking to switch out of research, a 2 to 3 year stay should be the maximum as you become even more ingrained in the company process and newly acquired skills after the first 2 to 3 years are non-transferable.

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!
