Testimonials

Since joining GfK three years ago, I never would have predicted the sheer range of work and responsibilities given by GfK to a graduate fresh out of University. By operating in close-knit teams, I was involved with strategic decision making and liaising with influential clients from very early on in my position, as all my experience and training is applicable to every level of the company. This also makes the career progression ladder clear and the next step always feels obtainable. I don’t therefore see my future at GfK in terms of weeks or months, but in years. A hugely inclusive culture, great social life and enjoyable work all combine to make my time at GfK more rewarding than I could have possibly predicted.

Matt Fisher, Account Director, Telecoms Team

I work at GfK as an Account Director for the Telecoms panel – working with major blue chip vendors, operators and retailers. GfK is the second role in my career, and has provided me with a continued challenge in my roles. I've been relatively successful at GfK - rising from Account Manager to Account Director in the four years I've worked here. That serves as a marker for a company which does reward you if you're willing to put the effort and hard work into your role. GfK Telecoms is a fast paced environment, ensuring that your weeks are never the same.

The day to day tasks you perform can vary greatly - one day I'll be presenting to a large client or retailer, then another I'll be at a tradeshow developing leads and others in the office dealing with client queries or managing the Telecoms team. GfK life is rewarding in terms of building and driving forwards a top class team, who deliver best in class insight to the Telecoms industry. Whilst I still enjoy the development of leads – my role means I now am able to coach and nurture these skills in my team.

Ebony Arden, Account Manager- Level 2, Consumer Electronics team

The beauty of working at GfK is that, in an incredibly short time frame, I have been given the opportunity to gain essential hands-on experience in many different aspects of the business. This has allowed me to rapidly develop and broaden my commercial skill set, ensuring both personal and team success. GfK invest a remarkable amount of resources in providing the right level of training for new joiners along with on-going training which greatly nurtures and facilitates career development. I wouldn't be able to describe a typical day at GfK as each day can differ significantly from the next. For instance, one day you may be creating a presentation of the current challenges facing a major blue-chip company in your market whereas the next you may be instrumental in creating an industry-first epos measurement. In all cases, GfK gives you the freedom to place your own individual market on your workload and actively encourages forward thinking. Despite being a large international company, GfK UK hasn't lost the friendly social cohesion often experienced by much smaller local companies due to its dynamic team-orientated culture.
