Wood Mackenzie reviews

No leadership, pompous arrogance of mid-managers and senior analysts, green and inexperienced executive management, buddy system, disconnect between departments and toxic environment in general, generations of families working together in the same offices and often on the same teams.

* Leadership suffers from 'Peter Principle' - virtually all executives have been promoted to their level of incompetence * Leadership has no path forward and afraid to show weakness by asking Verisk corporate centre for help * There is no career development plan; new hires need to come in with a mercenary plan of learning about the industry and then moving on to company with real career paths * Advancement (especially in Research) is all about politics both in the office and actual politics. Once you are on the wrong side of a political issue, hit the eject button and get out * New Research organisation is populated at the top with people in global roles having (a) no global experience, (b) no subject matter expertise, (c) horrible team management skills * I have never seen a less professional way of treating people. The public humiliation of people you have personal grievances with needs to stop. The public treatment of several high profile people pushed-out of the company was outrageous (and might have HR liability implications)
