Thank you for sharing your candid feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to provide your perspective as a long-standing employee. Thank you for all you have done for WoodMac! We’re glad you’ve highlighted the integrity and quality of many colleagues—that’s something we value deeply. At the same time, we take the concerns you've raised very seriously. Leadership focus and clarity are critical to our success, and we continuously review how we operate (and how we communicate that) to ensure decisions are made in the best interests of our people and our business. Our leadership team is committed to driving sustainable growth and creating value for employees and clients alike. We understand that trust in leadership is essential. We've been working hard to communicate with as much clarity as possible to all colleagues and we'll continue to prioritize open communication and accountability across the business. All feedback we receive on Glassdoor is important and helps us improve. We would though encourage you to raise via internal channels through line manager or HRBPs so we can address any concerns you have constructively
