Millward Brown Employer Reviews

I worked at Millward Brown for 11 years, I had great relationships with the people i worked with and enjoyed doing my job.

The environment was open, relaxed and fun. This was one of the best companies I have worked. There is a diverse culture and a multitude of opportunity to grow your career.

VERY dysfunctional place.

High level of politics, not the usual politics. The "C"razy, socially unacceptable sort of politics.

Non-competitive salary - povery-level for non-managers.

HR is a joke.

Take note - one of the worst places to work in America.

Good group of people to work with at the lower levels of management.

Millward Brown is a great company to have on your resume and get exposed to basic market research. Its no surprise that they are at a downward spiral because much of their work is templated and there is so much emphasis on being perfect that creates a stressful environment.

Unfortunately, they have promoted young managers from years ago w/ no mgt experience – more...  and jaded from being given so much grunt work that they too have become master delegators.

MB can definitely turn themselves around if they trusted their team members more, giving more responsiblities and created process improvements and get w/ the times by eliminating paperwork and creating digital processes.

They have a great onboarding process and you should take excellent notes because that will be the best learning experience.

Expect to work ridiculous hours because that is what is expected of everyone especially if you go in as an entry level employee.

Negotiate salary & perks and dont back down even though HR will tell you "sometimes in your career you need to take a step down to move ahead" total BOGUS! – less

It is not fair to judge this company on my review because I worked there a very long time ago. However, this was the worst job I ever had. They liked to hire people without marketing research experience and place them in positions to manage people who knew more than them. They were operationally driven, rather than being driven by the needs of the client. – more...  And they had no respect for their employees. – less

Allows for exposure to many different types of research methodologies. Also affords the opportunity to work with a plethora of client products (from beer to chocolate to cars to pharmaceuticals).

At MB, you get the chance to work on a project from beginning to end, from developing the questionnaire and working with sample providers to analyzing the – more...  results and providing actionable insights to the client.

The people are very friendly and helpful. MB also makes it a point to get employees involved in fun and charitable activities outside of the normal day to day work.

However, the pay rate is lower than that of similar marketing firms, and the hours can be long and demanding. It can also be a bit challenging to move up the ranks once a middle management position is reached. – less

The company was a good place with decent morale until the finance officer came on a little over two years ago. Her purpose is to destroy the company and morale at all costs. If you do not agree with her, you are out. I am a long term employee and she is the worst example of a high level executive seen to date. Hired because of her "relationships", her – more...  lack of confidence is displayed by verbal attacks on staff, extreme micro-management (to the lowest level) and the "do it my way or you're out" tactic. Collusion between the finance officer and her bosses (CEOs) prevents positive change for this company. Don't waste time interviewing here. Salaries are NOT competitive and a work-life balance does not exist. – less
