Morale might fare better outside of APAC

Marketing

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible working hours Managers are generally empathetic towards colleague’s personal commitments outside of work; kids or health issues

Cons

Lack of authority and empowerment for staff in APAC across key departments; HR, marketing, finance and research. It almost feels like only the revenue churning teams are allowed to do what that is needed. All high level executives are centralized in the UK (hq) and America (hq of parent company Verisk). Dire need for better network system in IT and Technology. Career progression path and bonus allocation is also unclear; quoting manager who said “I am not sure myself”.

Pros

good work life balance. good benefits in place.

Cons

despite being optimitic by nature, I can't see myself working for this company next year as there is no room to progress in the organisation. All current managers have been recently promoted from their previous jobs, so the business won't create any new position for managers.

Wood Mackenzie Response

This is disappointing to read. We are a growing business and part of this involves investing in training and career development for every one here. We have introduced individual development plans which will bring in new skills and help us grow our talented people. I would really like to talk through this further – perhaps we could have a call? If so, please feel free to drop me a line on 0203 060 8767.
