Pros

Provides lots of opportunities to network with colleagues via pay day drinks, welcome pizza for new starters etc. Good reputation in industry, but others competitors are catching up.

Cons

Middle managers are inexperienced and they are actively stifling more junior talented people who are walking out the door on a weekly basis. Hold managers accountable for people development and stop them sabotaging the talent pipeline for their own personal gain. I have witnessed a minority of employees who have said derogatory comments, based on gender and ethnicity, about fellow colleagues and clients on several occasions.

Wood Mackenzie Response

Thanks for this - we must work hard to preserve our good reputation. We absolutely want to retain our highly talented people and in particular develop individuals at more junior levels. This is why we are focusing more on performance, personal development plans and building stronger competency frameworks to help everyone here be the best they can.
