Not recommended - Recensione dipendente - Senior Analyst presso Sustainalytics

Quality leadership from Sustainalytics Great coworkers Collaborative working environment Good mission

Parent company is public with high-growth expectations Several positions eliminated globally in Q3 and Q4 2023, some due to ESG-backlash in US Very low diversity across all divisions Few options for internal mobility & promotions

It was a good place to start a career in ESG once upon a time. Work/life balance was great.

- Lack of innovative products = still trying to ride its legacy ESG product suite that was relevant years ago, but is severely limited compared to its competitors. Any attempt at new research or development is stalled or canned due to budget constraints. - Lack of vision = senior leadership has successively abandoned this company without a care for the 1000s of employees they left behind, only for them to be slaughtered by Morningstar-sanctioned layoffs. They made an Index person head of an ESG shop.... how inspiring. - Lack of compensation = Way below market. Even compared to other ESG data providers. - Lack of career growth = You are hired to fill a role, not grow a career. Very limited career development opportunities. - Lack of diverse leadership = For an ESG data provider, leadership has always been pretty male-centric (until all the senior men leave and they started promoting female leaders). I don't think Sustainalytics will exist in 2 years...
