No room for growth and company is slow to change

Pros

People are generally friendly and working hours are quite flexible. For the most part, working after 6 PM is discouraged unless there are deadlines to meet.

Cons

There's no room for growth and upper management is inexperienced. Most of upper management have worked only for Euromonitor, hence they cannot bring experience from other organizations in terms of managing their team and strategising. They are slow to adopt to change and are not visionary in terms of sales as there is no planning. The sales manager do not teach their team how to sell and expect us to learn on the spot. There also does not seem to be synergy among teams or colleagues. Culture and work ethic is poor as managers seem to avoid confrontation and turn a blind eye to those not working. It's no surprise that at least one person quits every 1-2 months. The Singapore office operates more as a local/backward company than an international company.

Pros

- The work is quite strictly 9.30 to 17.30. There's no overtime. - The work environment is quite informal. The dress code is relaxed and colleagues are nice and approachable.

Cons

- Very poor pay for the type of person they want to hire. - Very strict, 1920s Fordist style workplace bureaucracy and working hours. Even if you're done with your work, you cannot leave a minute before 17.30 or arrive a minute earlier than 9.30 - Boring training which doesn't really add anything - Career progression is slow and tedious, and the pay-rise is almost negligible.

We have addressed the working hours and now have a trial of working core hours in the majority of our offices which allows a little more flexibility.

Pros

Good exposure to large corporates primarily in FMCG, retailing and consultancy.

Cons

Overburdened research department, ridiculous project schedules, rampant usage of non-qualified freelancers = declining research quality. You start to wonder whether the people in charge live in another dimension. Hiring fresh graduates and freelancers then blaming them for not doing work that is clearly out of their league. The people in charge clearly don't know what proper research should look like. For a provider of statistical market data , the methods used in producing (or making up?) the datapoints are shambolic or non-existent. There are no research project documentation practices in place which is funny because the projects are repeated annually. Analysts have no clue what the previous person did, so reinventing the wheel is a common occurence. Clients see that data is often totally wrong and rightfully question data reliability. Instead of investing in high-quality data sources, data mining, web scraping, BI visualisation tools, advanced analytics and proper statistical models, they boast that 1% of revenue was spent on CSR. This feels like a spit in the face given that each time ideas that would improve research quality are shut down because "there are not enough resources". You're a B2B service company, nobody cares about your CSR activities. People get fed up and leave. The number of analysts that leave the company is just too high. But what can you expect if you get treated like an expendable work horse. Squandering talented people is one of the core competences of management at Euromonitor. The company is left with yesmen that would agree to anything as long as it does not solve real problems which plague the company.
