Euromonitor reviews

Euromonitor is highly profitable but for years, the company's two owners have distributed most of those profits back to themselves rather than reinvest in the company and employees that made them rich in the first place. The CEO and CFO are monetarily incentivized to maximize profits. As a result, the company has prioritized fattening margins rather than figuring out how to grow. With cost-cutting and profits top of mind, Euromonitor never seemed to have any real strategy or vision. "Innovation" is powered less by market needs or bottom-up ideas and more by an unrelenting, top-down obsession with higher margins that ultimately benefit a few. Now the company is shrinking and has resorted to sacking people. The culture is suffering. It's a shame and a waste because the company has much potential. Meanwhile, the owners just keep getting richer. It's the unfortunate spirit of our times apparently.

- unrealistic expectations - too many tasks for one person, too much data to validate and process - methodology was not very helpful to anyone, not the analysts, not the sales who try to sell, not the customers who use the data to forecast, since its really not modern, not accurate, not refreshed frequently enough - management was so removed from the reality, the direction that they are going for is based on cost cutting and not increasing the quality of the research all that much - product is not respectable - no career growth, low pay - some ppl are quite egoistic - research budget is so limited for the scope and requirements of the project, leading to low quality products, stressing everyone except the investor out, not sustainable
