Working at The NPD Group in Des Plaines, IL: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Des Plaines, IL Area

What do you like about working at The NPD Group?

"The standard 37.5 hour work week. I have an office even though I'm at the Manager level. Deadlines are generally flexible and people are helpful."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Ask about career path and legitimate opportunity for advancement. Ask about the software and be leery about accounts rotating between employees. You want to establish a set list of accounts, not play musical chairs."

What don't you like about working at The NPD Group?

"My boss is sometimes scattered and I have to track them down for direction/advice about important issues. The software is archaic. Everyone expects to be a winner all the time. This stifles competition."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Try to invest more in technology and data. We need to get the sample in our panel up so we can get more detail for clients. Also, the UI of the software needs to be intuitive so we can allow clients to pull their own data rather than coming to us for data pulls."
