A legacy company trading on past glories
Pros
Nice clean offices in good locations. Provision of free fruits. Pockets of very good analysts within the firm. Often gets mixed up with a well known global consultancy.
Cons
It's a well known fact that Wood Mackenzie was taken over by Verisk. There has been a very high turnover in senior management staff as some of the "old guard" cashed out on the windfall. Most of these guys had contributed to making the company what it had become. The replacement management obviously had big boots to fill and while some are very good, others are not and have clearly contributed to the low morale prevailing among the company. To make matters worse some of those new senior managers were not promoted purely on talent but on an " inclusiveness and gender criteria" especially in metals and mining team.
