A once great business that's lost its identity

Pros

Great products and subject matter specialists.

Cons

Ripped apart by politics and move back to PE ownership. Lost all sense of identity and culture. Has lost many great people, people that stay are unhappy, and senior folk just hanging on in hope of a big pay day.

Pros

The only significant positive aspect of working at Wood Mackenzie was the hybrid work model. Requiring only two days in the office per week provided a good degree of flexibility and work-life balance.

Cons

The work environment has become incredibly toxic, particularly since the acquisition by a private equity firm around 2023. The new ownership's focus seems to be on short-sighted decisions designed to inflate the company's value for a quick sale. This has created a high-pressure, fear-based culture. Management implicitly threatens job security to drive performance, leading to overworked and stressed employees. There is very little collaboration; colleagues are often unhelpful, non-responsive to emails, and it's a constant struggle to get the support needed to do your job effectively. Furthermore, there is a complete lack of meaningful training, and the turnover rate is alarmingly high. The company appears to be firing long-tenured employees as a cost-cutting measure, losing valuable institutional knowledge in the process.
