Wood Mackenzie reviews

Wouldn't recommend it for MBAs as wages are not competitive to other MBA recruitment firms (took five years to get to the levels MBAs should usually start at!). Furthermore, a lot of focus on gender diversity, but not on ethnic diversity. European offices have barely any people who are ethnically diverse (Asian or otherwise) in Director or above position. A lot of typecasting - this is how Asians/N. AFs are etc. etc. Wouldn't recommend it if you're ethnically diverse/mixed. People internally don't think that the energy transition is real. The energy transition is considered value dilutive in nature. On compensation - it'd say its not very up or out in nature. So there's a lot of middle managers. If you consistently exceed expectations on the research side i.e., you're on the list of top 10-15% performers, salary increments might be 1.5-2%. Promotions are probably 5-10%, depending on the team. The fundamental issue is that the parent company Verisk has unrealistic expectations of margins. As Verisk makes 40-50% margin (as common in SaaS, analytics), all businesses are expected to deliver the same. However, that's not realistic.

Experience can vary a lot depending on who you are working with, very few opportunities for growth, toxic work environment, absolutely no planning at the top of the organization, deficient leadership. Compensation is low compared to other consulting firms .
