Pros
Euromonitor is a lovely place to work. Full of intelligent, interesting and fun people for the most part. The product is liked by clients and for the most part it’s genuinely useful. We are still ahead of the competition. It’s a medium sized corporate with a small company feel. You can get things done by asking around. Work life balance is genuine. You can carve out your own path to a certain extent. HR has seen some big transformations recently and it’s trending positively. There are some exciting developments in the pipeline.
Cons
We are very top level controlled under a one size fits all banner. Just because it worked 10 yrs ago is not a good reason to keep doing it. Those intelligent and fun people I mentioned in the pros? They leave. Turnover is crazy high. We used to be a lean organisation, now we’re moving into middle size corporate bloat. Lots of staff with really questionable roles. Training of new staff is pretty appalling. Training for existing staff is even worse. Recent efforts have been laughably bad. A lot of new ideas are started, nothing is ever followed up on. Pay is below market rate. Sales teams are petty demoralised.
