Wood Mackenzie reviews

However things start to take a turn after WM was acquired by a private equity. - Loads of uncertainties and lack of job security (Many “non-essential” roles are eliminated or shifted to “low-cost” countries such as India. Several rounds of layoffs already started from a year ago till now. - Company disregarded long years of service from pioneer staff by laying them off, brutal - Pressure is on to hit unrealistic targets, and there’s added responsibilities due to lesser manpower (from layoffs) - Even if you are already doing double work, you are still at risk of getting laid off. It all depend on the company’s needs at that point in time and they require to cut cost - Used to have many charitable work/donations, activity participation groups (Thrive/Pride etc.), but all of them were removed ever since cost-cutting measures started All in all, WM has already lost its soul and the very essence of the heartwarming culture it once had… I would have given a high rating to WM if it was before the PE takeover. But now, many decisions from c-suites aren’t making sense, budgets are cut, but targets are significantly higher.

Used to be a lot of SMEs but now focusing on getting more junior staff to reduce cost. Career progression is limited.
