Vantaggi

• Very flexible work schedule, but dependent on your role and manager. Upper management says one thing where Team level goes by their choice. • There are some great people on the teams to help and collaborate with.

Svantaggi

• After all these years, they still cannot get it right or figure it out, and after multiple acquisitions and change of hands, it just keeps getting worse with the constant resets. • You say you want to be a global company, but you rely too heavily on your UK office, which is out of touch with your global audience and, more so, your American audience, to which most of your products are being pitched! • There is a massive lack of diversity, which probably concerns them constantly trying to hire in the UK for roles. • The UK office practically makes all major managerial decisions • Pay and job level are not decided by your skill set or year of experience. • Teams within departments are siloed and focus only on their business objectives. Specific teams are often left to scramble, being last in the process or priority. Others lack mutual respect or assistance for various teams. • Pay employees' salaries below market value and inflation and have begun to outsource to lower-cost locations for talent. • Poor leadership, especially on the executive front. They seem super out of touch with the team’s needs, and complaints fall on deaf ears. • Low career advancement.

Vantaggi

Good people with good intentions. Work-life balance is above average.

Svantaggi

The reality of being owned by a PE backed firm: Large scale cost reductions including mass layoffs. Woefully lean teams requiring higher workloads including much time spent on tasks outside of primary role. New leadership- since the hiring of Jason Liu, it’s hard to discern if we can trust the GLT. Observations causing concern include blame shifting, lack of accountability, and statements inferring that radical candor is actually not welcome (despite devoting an entire training module on the topic). Directors and managers do not have any power, and yet they are our conduit to executive leadership. The work has no joy anymore. We spend our days putting out fires on internal data issues, chasing lofty goals with next to nothing budgets, and trying to keep up with the ever-changing policies and procedures that impact our day to day. I rarely get a chance these days to do the job I was hired for.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. Wood Mackenzie is undergoing a bold transformation as we sharpen our focus on delivering the most connected, trusted intelligence for the energy and natural resources industries. This has brought change across many parts of the organisation as we evolve how we work, how we operate, and how we support our customers. We recognise that periods of transformation can feel challenging and, at times, uncomfortable. At the same time, this work is central to our long-term ambition to transform the way we power our planet and to build a Wood Mackenzie for the future. We remain committed to creating an environment where people can do meaningful work, contribute to a bold mission, and feel proud of the role they play in what we are building together. If you haven't already done so, I'd recommend speaking about the issues you've raised through our internal feedback channels such as our your line manager or speak to your HRBP. All feedback on Glassdoor is summarised and shared with leadership monthly so I can guarantee the themes in your review will be aired. We appreciate your honesty and your dedication to Wood Mackenzie over the past decade. Even when the feedback is challenging, it helps us build a stronger company and a better experience for our people. Thank you again for sharing your perspective. Eilish Henson, EVP, HR
