Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re really pleased to hear that you value the work culture and supportive environment at Wood Mackenzie — creating a place where people feel included and able to thrive is important to us. We also appreciate your feedback on salary, promotion pathways and bonus structure. We know how important these elements are to people’s career experience. We continue to review our reward and progression frameworks to ensure they are fair, transparent and aligned with the market, and feedback like yours helps guide those improvements. You'll have heard on the kick-off last week we are reverting back to two promotion cycles a year which hopefully answers some concerns you have. This was done in large part due to feedback in quarterly surveys. Thank you again for contributing your perspective and for being part of the team. We’re glad to have you with us.

Pros

Wood Mackenzie is one of the most positive and socially connected places I’ve worked. The people genuinely care — about each other, about the work, and about doing the right thing — and that creates a community feel that goes well beyond the usual “corporate culture” claims. The work itself is genuinely interesting and intellectually stretching, especially given the complexity of the markets WoodMac operates in. There’s also an almost overwhelming amount of learning opportunity on the job, online courses and in-person sessions. If you’re curious and motivated, you’ll never be short of ways to grow. What really stands out is the ambition. This is a business that’s serious about competing and winning in a challenging market, and that sense of purpose is energising.

Cons

The downside: senior leadership doesn’t always listen closely enough to the teams on the ground, particularly when those teams are sharing inconvenient truths. While new leaders bring optimism and fresh energy, without sharper focus, humility, and a truly authentic growth mindset, there’s a risk that valuable insights from tenured colleagues — and opportunities — could be missed.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and generous review! We’re so pleased to hear how strongly you’ve experienced the sense of community at Wood Mackenzie. The care our people show for one another, the intellectual challenge of the work, and the breadth of learning opportunities available are all things we work hard to foster — and it’s encouraging to know they resonate so clearly. Your comments on ambition and purpose reflect exactly the kind of environment we aspire to create. We also genuinely appreciate you highlighting where we need to be better. Listening closely — especially when the feedback is uncomfortable — is essential if we’re to make good decisions and grow as we want to, The experience and insight of our tenured colleagues are invaluable, and we recognise that humility and openness from leadership are critical to making the most of that collective wisdom. Your feedback is heard and taken seriously. Strengthening how we listen, how we engage, and how insights from across the organisation shape our direction remains a priority for us. As mentioned in previous responses we synthesise responses monthly and ensure leaders see this overview each month. Thank you again for your honesty, your contribution, and for being part of the Wood Mackenzie community!
