We appreciate the time you've taken to provide your thoughts. It's important to us that Wood Mackenzie is a great place to work for all and that there's two-way communication that enables you to tell us when something is not working. We'd encourage you to discuss your feedback either with your line manager or your HR Business Partner so any potential issues can be addressed.

Pros

This is a unique company, akin to a sell-side research platform, without the buy/sell/hold recommendations. Truly independent and objective in their views and still fairly conservative in their forecasting methodology. It's by far the biggest commodity research/consulting firm, with broad coverage of the commodities value chain, very sharp research analysts, seasoned consultants and global footprint. Its clients span the globe - oil majors, independent E&Ps, governments, investment banks, asset managers, regulatory bodies, miners, refiners, global professional services firms, etc. The firm is now owned by another global entity and publicly traded company (Verisk Analytics). Various opportunities are available within Research, Consulting and Sales/Marketing. The Sales team (where I spent a number of years) is diverse and focused on client segments. The investment banking coverage team is solid and the offering is uniquely designed for global banking/research houses and smaller franchises. Wood Mackenzie's valuation metrics and workflows are widely known and still considered the industry standard.

Cons

I was treated fairly and although every organization has its flaws, I don't believe there is anything major that should prevent future employees from considering working at Wood Mackenzie. In fact, I encourage people to apply and make a positive change by contributing ideas and new/outside perspectives.
