Fantastic team, strong development culture

Pros

A culture of mutual respect and collaboration, a fantastic global team and one in SG; a dedicated learning and development team truly focused on supporting personal and professional growth (with plenty of learning opportunities for both hard and soft skills); a very international environment, flexible working arrangements, decent benefits with a comprehensive insurance package (though the YoY increase is hardly on par with inflation), 25 days of annual leave, etc. Those who have been with the company for xx years might feel a bit grumpy about the perceived 'downward trend in culture, products, processes, etc'. But if you put things into perspective, there’s nothing particularly dramatic happening there that isn’t also happening across the industry as a whole. A lot of changes, but so are things everywhere. New leadership seem to generally know what they are doing, so WoodMac is going to be alright.

Cons

Quite a high pressure to achieve a very ambitious growth target set by PE, everything at the moment is secondary to immediate sales goals.

Pros

• Very flexible work schedule, but dependent on your role and manager. Upper management says one thing where Team level goes by their choice. • There are some great people on the teams to help and collaborate with.

Cons

• After all these years, they still cannot get it right or figure it out, and after multiple acquisitions and change of hands, it just keeps getting worse with the constant resets. • You say you want to be a global company, but you rely too heavily on your UK office, which is out of touch with your global audience and, more so, your American audience, to which most of your products are being pitched! • There is a massive lack of diversity, which probably concerns them constantly trying to hire in the UK for roles. • The UK office practically makes all major managerial decisions • Pay and job level are not decided by your skill set or year of experience. • Teams within departments are siloed and focus only on their business objectives. Specific teams are often left to scramble, being last in the process or priority. Others lack mutual respect or assistance for various teams. • Pay employees' salaries below market value and inflation and have begun to outsource to lower-cost locations for talent. • Poor leadership, especially on the executive front. They seem super out of touch with the team’s needs, and complaints fall on deaf ears. • Low career advancement.
