Pros

Professed commitment to work/life balance--5 weeks of vacation you're expected to take, some flexibility on work hours otherwise as long as the job gets done, fabulous opportunity for industry exposure, collegial community. You couldn't do better as a

Cons

Prehistoric IT, glacial decision making, internally vs. client-focused management based in the UK, bad management in Houston in particular. Research is second-rate compared with sales and loosely-defined management.

WM has got steadily worse since I joined two years ago.

Business Outlook

Pros

The pension is very good.

Cons

Since the company got bought by Hellman Friedman working for WM has been a disappointing experience. Salary increases and bonuses have been completely decimated and moral is at an all time low. It is such a shame as it used to be such a good company to work for. As a Data Analyst my two years have been a struggle to be recognised over the heads of Analysts who are rewarded far better.

A Bridge Too Far.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very bright analysts and some of the best, most internally consistent data in the industry.

Cons

Dysfunctional culture and weak senior management that tolerates such behavior with the brush-off, "That's Wood Mackenzie." Bonues (DPA) are based on subjective favortism, rather than merit Top 10% ("Rank 4") do VERY well on bonus at the expense of the rest of the employees. Compensation balance and work-life balance are too skewed to make corporate culture tolerable.
