Politics and no idea what they are trying to do!

Senior developer/architect

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It used to be a very nice place to work once upon a time!

Cons

Full of politics, they always let go of good talent and make people who are completely useless as lead. The management doesn't care about anyone except those who are "Yes men". One manager gives you a title and after that manager leaves, the title is taken back. Filled with juniors and those thinking they know everything. High attrition rate due to unsustainable work environment. And yes by the way no career growth, just stagnate.

Toxic Leadership - Beyond Belief!!!!

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.

Highly-talented employees. Great benefits and good work/life balance.

Very UK-centric on everything. Micro-managed. Very limited growth opp unless your based in their Edinburgh office. Not sensitive to regional styles.
