Pros

International company that is one of the biggest company in China. But it has done localisation very well so give lots of opportunities to local staff.

Cons

MD, Kelly Yin, uses her own power and gives job to her husband! She asked him to give us training in market research. This is so strange as we are a market rsearch company and normally we receive training from our senior colleagues and direct manager not from an outside freelance consultant! A look up this consultant's Linkedin profile shows that he actuall has less experience than many of our senoir colleagues or management.

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!
