Pros
Still a lot of good people to learn from Good place to get industry experience Good place to get industry contacts
Cons
Increasingly dysfunctional and political corporate culture. Serious shortages of resource in key areas. Staff cuts have decimated key departments, even those with strong revenue growth. It has now hit a point where after a long term problem of under investing in staff there are serious questions as to whether the company can carry on delivering content to clients. At the same time the company is hiring significant numbers of staff who are frankly pointless. Key senior staff are increasingly backing away from key departments as the situation spirals out of control. The commodities industries are become much more cautious about dealing with research companies like wm and others after recent oil prices falls. Combining that with serious cuts to staffing is proving to be problematic for renewals. Good staff are not rewarded and are increasingly treated badly,Good staff members are often burnt out. Staff turnover has now gotten out of control. Where the company traditionally had a turnover rate of less than 10% in key departments that number has now gone past 20% and is still rising. What's worse is those staff who leave are now often not replaced.
