Pluspunten

Product company Work culture Leaves and time flexible

Minpunten

Micro-management to some extent. They even create a whatsapp group where you need to inform when you are starting to work, at what time n all...pay is less. Worst thing woodmac does is it hired me for java, interviewed me for java only...2 interview rounds taken and questions asked were of Java...i have 8+ YOE in java... And when i got hired, the tasks given to me are of DotNet. No java. And they justify this thing with the line "keep an open mind". Now this is the manager's thinking to keep open mind n all but they should not force everyone to have the same thinking or belief.. Now if am working on java for 8+ years, suddenly i work on dotnet for 1 year...the next company when i get interviewed in will ask me about the project and i'll need to start talking about dotnet while the job am applying to will be of Java...i'll start losing the jobs and fail in the interviews then. Not sure why they interviewed and hired an experienced java developer when they had the work only on DotNet. Messed up with my career. Now am again in the market left out to search for the jobs.

Pluspunten

Good people with good intentions. Work-life balance is above average.

Minpunten

The reality of being owned by a PE backed firm: Large scale cost reductions including mass layoffs. Woefully lean teams requiring higher workloads including much time spent on tasks outside of primary role. New leadership- since the hiring of Jason Liu, it’s hard to discern if we can trust the GLT. Observations causing concern include blame shifting, lack of accountability, and statements inferring that radical candor is actually not welcome (despite devoting an entire training module on the topic). Directors and managers do not have any power, and yet they are our conduit to executive leadership. The work has no joy anymore. We spend our days putting out fires on internal data issues, chasing lofty goals with next to nothing budgets, and trying to keep up with the ever-changing policies and procedures that impact our day to day. I rarely get a chance these days to do the job I was hired for.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. Wood Mackenzie is undergoing a bold transformation as we sharpen our focus on delivering the most connected, trusted intelligence for the energy and natural resources industries. This has brought change across many parts of the organisation as we evolve how we work, how we operate, and how we support our customers. We recognise that periods of transformation can feel challenging and, at times, uncomfortable. At the same time, this work is central to our long-term ambition to transform the way we power our planet and to build a Wood Mackenzie for the future. We remain committed to creating an environment where people can do meaningful work, contribute to a bold mission, and feel proud of the role they play in what we are building together. If you haven't already done so, I'd recommend speaking about the issues you've raised through our internal feedback channels such as our your line manager or speak to your HRBP. All feedback on Glassdoor is summarised and shared with leadership monthly so I can guarantee the themes in your review will be aired. We appreciate your honesty and your dedication to Wood Mackenzie over the past decade. Even when the feedback is challenging, it helps us build a stronger company and a better experience for our people. Thank you again for sharing your perspective. Eilish Henson, EVP, HR
