Wood Mackenzie reviews

Salary is well below comparable firms, there is always some excuse not to pay bonuses, they move targets mid year to avoid paying bonuses, leadership is quite poor, there is a disproportionate influence from Edinburgh (HQ) and from people who have never worked anywhere else, it is more important to spend time in place than to do go work, you get punished for doing too well and standing out, mid level management works very hard to defend territory and demotes managers who don't get with their program, the firm doesn't commit to anything fully and consequently never really does anything well. Best advice for applicants - read the review thoroughly. The number of starts I see in the reviews doesn't truly reflect the tone of the review. The stars suggest positive reviews, but read between the lines in the text and you'll see people aren't very happy.

Poor leadership and lack of bd for consultants at all levels - part of the problem of being owned by private equity. There is little investment in its employees. Low pay compared to other firms, and absolutely no recognition of brand name. Firm culture is horrible, it seems as if everyone is using this as a stepping stone to another career.
