Pros

Competitive compensation Work-life balance Good product Not downtown Paid parking

Cons

Wood Mackenzie touts its culture as a positive distinctive. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Their culture is one of the most unusual and toxic that I have witnessed. It is rare to be part of an organization where dissent is so common and expressed so openly. No positive suggestions for reform simply a constant groan of discontent from across the organization. Senior management is mostly absent as you don’t often hear from them and they certainly are not around to provide anything resembling leadership. In my experience there is no rationality to their business decisions. It is largely based on emotions and relationships. Leadership is invisible Lack of vision Juvenile and toxic culture Lack of accountability at senior levels European culture of “read between the lines” or guess what I’m thinking Lack of transparency and ethics Almost no investment in people Reactionary policies based on fear

Pros

The leadership team has developed extremely well the past few years. I've found that they support creative avenues for career growth and empower individuals with a proven track record to create their own stretch opportunities. Sometimes a cautious, measured approach to decision making has been viewed as non-supportive of change, but that is fundamentally incorrect. Under new corporate ownership, the refreshed leadership team is truly building a robust, sustainable business that rewards the right values and directs resources to building long lasting client solutions.

Cons

Career progression is still easier for people on a management track, rather than committed analysts trying to become true subject matter experts.

One of the best known energy research and consulting firm with a lot of learning potential

Cons

Company values have changed with the new ownership and that is letting people down.
