Pros

The company is for sale and hopefully old management (all stock owners) will leave soon. Argus management was lucky because of Platts arrogance.

Cons

This company needs to have better communication among all areas and regions. They lack of technology to support their publications and internal systems. I have been in this company for 5 years and I have seen the implementation of two CRMs and neither of them have worked correctly. There is too much turn over and no one responsible for HR, performance reviews have been a joke. They good employees are already leaving the company and there will be more to come. This company doesn't have an open door policy between upper management and employees. No one can be honest because there is fear of intimidation, criticism and censure. Morale is very low.

I hope that with the finalization of the new investors your opinions have begun to change. If you still feel strongly I would encourage you to let me know, perhaps I can buy you a coffee and we could discuss?

Pros

Great teammates with high standards and low egos. Compensation isn’t competitive, so top performers often move on. The medical insurance, though, is excellent.

Cons

Management: Severely disconnected. A strict “3 days in office” rule is tracked via weekly attendance reports, yet the Head of North America works fully remote after moving away from Houston. Compensation: Senior-level pay is well below the Houston market. Repeated promises to make salaries competitive have been half-measures (think bottom 10% range). Hours: Expect meetings to be scheduled irrespective of your actual working hours.
