Company in terminal decline

Research analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Working for the company in the past was a very good way to learn about the industry

Cons

The metals division has been neglected with antiquated processes in place and no chance of them being rectified soon. The mid to senior management is not chosen on merit but on an "buddy system". As one reviewer mentioned there is absolutely no incentive to work extra hard because at the end of the day all you get is pat on the back.

Good company in steep decline

Analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good place to learn part of the sector, however the increasingly lack of a joined up view will hold careers back It used to be an extremely good company and there are still a lot of very good people

Cons

Too few staff Low morale Increasingly toxic work culture as people tried to hide from work and scarce resources are shared out on an increasingly political basis Increasingly silo-ized Totally inept staff tolerated and promoted because of the work they churn out, while good staff who actually bother to figure out their subject sidelined because they refuse to churn. Staff turnover, which has traditionally been below industry levels, is now at very high levels Lack of promotion for good staff Increasingly political managements - is rapidly heading towards a point of fiddling while Rome burns Increasingly serious holes in coverage

Business Outlook

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.
