Bad product + inertia to change for the better = Bad company to work for
Pros
- Some Colleagues are very smart and can learn lots from co-working with them - Good sales training - People will teach IF approached - No overtime - Hotdesking
Cons
- Over-recruit sales people and the pie became more divided for some teams - Don't invest in people - Bad product with a lot of issues regarding data accuracy from client side (no matter how much effort you put into relationship building, Euromonitor will always be at the lowest of hierarchy, simply because the methodology is flawed and the data has big lapses from reality) - Management is slow to change and does not see the urgency to improve data quality, rather focussing on quantitative metrics. - Lack of integration of information platforms, so if you have to look for anything, you have to search through various platforms - Colleagues are generally nice - BUT collaboration does not seem to be part of the culture of the company. Not much real team work. Very quiet floor where everyone is focussed on their own work. - Sales and research hate each other due to conflict of interest. - Rigid rules and management style - There is a pattern as to promotion - seniority matters a lot since turnover rate is high - Lack of training for managers. Some people are great worker, but they may be poor managers. - Poor benefits and salaries - bad commission structure - Recruit In-Country analysts, which are essentially freelancers, to manage one whole project on one industry. Beware of quality!
