Pros

Great culture. Company does put a lot into this. Fantastic people and learn a lot from genuine industry experts. This can't be stressed enough. Gold standard products. The best around. Company strategy is clear and direction of travel exciting. Just need to pull it off.

Cons

Pay is undercooked. Feeling that old school WoodMackers are somehow a problem when in fact we built the successful shop and brand. Sometimes feel that new Execs think shiny new hires are better - maybe but they ain't done nothing yet! Back the people who know the products rather than folks you've hired from competitors!

Pros

Opportunities: enough to have kept me for 20 years! People and culture. Guaranteed interesting work in Consulting and Research. Great brand on your CV ( I have been disappointing head hunters for a long time.)

Cons

Business success can be cyclical based on energy markets but we are more diversified than ever.

Thank you for taking the time to share your reflections, and for your remarkable 20 years of contributions to Wood Mackenzie. Your long tenure speaks volumes, and we’re genuinely grateful for your continued commitment to our people, our culture, and the work we do. We’re delighted to hear that the breadth of opportunities, the collaborative culture, and the consistently interesting work in Consulting and Research have been meaningful to you over the years. We’re proud of the teams who create that environment every day, and of the reputation you highlight—our people are the strength behind the brand. You’re right that aspects of our business can be influenced by wider energy market cycles. As you note, we’ve taken deliberate steps to diversify our portfolio so that we remain resilient and well-positioned for long-term growth. We remain committed to strengthening this balance and ensuring we provide stability and opportunity for colleagues across all parts of the business. Thank you again for your decades of dedication and impact. It’s colleagues like you who help shape the organisation we are today.
