Pros

Great for someone starting in the industry, to build experience and connections. 4 weeks vacation right from the start

Cons

Woodmac was acquired by a larger company Verisk, and the culture has died. It is a Scottish company and has been biased towards staff in the UK getting more upward mobility. Not competitive in terms of salary.

Wood Mackenzie Response

Hi, I appreciate you taking the time to leave some feedback for us. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the benefits on offer whilst you were at the Company. We are going through changes, but our culture (across all our locations) is something that we hold dear to us and are committed to maintaining as we grow. We are also fortunate that the Wood Mackenzie culture we worked so hard to create aligns so well with that of our parent company, Verisk. Craig McMahon, Head of Americas Research

Pros

Appreciated working with smart, driven colleagues; they were truly experts in their fields. The rigorous schedules we were on were strictly maintained, which usually made for a very organized structure and workload.

Cons

Leadership went through many changes and acquisitions while I was there. The mission seemed to keep changing, and it wasn't easy to maintain consistency in our reports with such leadership changes. Market analysts were often pulled onto consulting projects but were not paid as consultants. This is what pushed me to leave.
