Pros

Star 1 - There are some really great contributing individuals at GlobalData Star 2 - Good office location

Cons

Unfortunately, I cannot think of anymore pros. - There are points of power within the business that are at an Exec level role, not because of their leadership qualities, but because they have worked in the sector for a number of years. This reflects across the whole business, lack of innovation, lack of direction and lack of clarity - The turnover is absolutely dreadful, something like 70% churn rate. This is due to: No tea or coffee facilities, you have to pay for everything Dirty toilets Old fashioned facilities, not up to the correct standard of ergonomics 09:00 - 18:00 working time with no flexibility Inappropriate sales leaders (this is a large, global corporation) Small, inexperienced HR team who lack direction No employee engagement or recognition for high achievement (apart from sales) Lack of progression for all roles No benefits 20 days holiday and 3 of those days must be taken at Christmas No training or development programmes

Pros

GlobalData is a fast paced company, gaining market share in the competitive market research space. The people who work here are amazing and the team very, supportive and willing to help. The solutions and platforms are cutting edge and useful to growing companies, and GlobalData is constantly improving its offering through acquisitions and development. I have been very impressed at how committed the management team is to providing an exceptional product set.

Cons

The sales support tools are lacking. Contact management, account and opportunity management is not as streamlined as I have seen elsewhere. It is a work in progress - heading the right way - but still a long way to go.

Pros

If you try and quit, they increase your salary a lot to stay but you really should just quit and get out! Noone works after 5pm

Cons

Senior management are lazy and never improve the business, just keep it ticking Lie about promotional opportunities which never happen Everyone is miserable in the office which makes it a horrible place to work Loads of complaints from customers which they don't deal with
