Pros

Core staff around the world are dedicated employees and smart. Benefits are above average. If you show up at the office and stare at your computer 8 hours a day without ever accomplishing anything you will have a job for life.

Cons

Strong UK versus US bias towards employees and promotion. Very unseasoned leadership who came up through the ranks of the tiny bubble that is Wood Mackenzie and have hardly worked anywhere else. Insular and extremely misguided view at the top of how important Wood Mackenzie is to the global energy sector - it is a speck in the ocean.

Pros

Appreciated working with smart, driven colleagues; they were truly experts in their fields. The rigorous schedules we were on were strictly maintained, which usually made for a very organized structure and workload.

Cons

Leadership went through many changes and acquisitions while I was there. The mission seemed to keep changing, and it wasn't easy to maintain consistency in our reports with such leadership changes. Market analysts were often pulled onto consulting projects but were not paid as consultants. This is what pushed me to leave.
