Painful - Account Manager Euromonitor Employee Review

Great place for structured training programmes. For example, you get to learn: 1. Importance of performance metrics – you’re just a cost centre so you’re only as good as your last contribution. Ultimately, it’s the bottom line and you’ll be performance-managed to death. The other ‘soft’ metrics are just there to protect management if employees feel otherwise. 2. You’re an employee out to cheat management – your time in and out the office are tracked religiously. There are no issues if you work regular hours AND do conference/training calls 10 – 11 pm. 3. Competition – internally. Countries are set up to compete against each other, enforced by performance metrics. 4. How to get to work for peanuts; and that’s after they’ve ‘adjusted’ your pay. And many others. It’s no wonder there’re high levels of stress, poor morale etc. the past few years. I’d love to join those who left.
