      No transparency or career progression

      Senior research analyst
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company can be relatively stable depending on which department you work in (although some departments are prone to repeated reorganisations).

      Cons

      No career progression in some departments. Your manager can completely stifle any advancement, most managers do not care about you being underpaid relative to your position and experience and are happy to take advantage of the lack of transparency which means you're not aware of being underpaid. Managers will make promises to make you stay but won't deliver on them.

      Thank you for sharing the feedback. Our colleague development is high on our priorities and we have invested heavily in this. In terms of specific managers. Our managers receive coaching and encouraged to actively participate training specific to our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy. All colleagues fairly and with respect and transparency. We are launching 2 new manager sessions this summer. If you have concerns with your specific manager please discuss with HR. Our global churn rate is thankfully quite low and we do look at teams with slightly higher turnover. Thank you again.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Colleagues are largely friendly and sociable, they care about what they do. Office is nice. There is a desire to fix some of the older systems, mess of data and tech legacy.

      Cons

      Talk of IPO was on the horizon but did not make the number desired back in 2020. Rumblings from above suggest same in next few years. Instant revenue is valued, presentee-ism in working from home policy and a covert move to transfer technical resource to Pune office aka SNTPS in new organisational discussions. Management issues, DEI here is a joke and several senior women with experience have been passed over for promotion or left altogether in website, IT, technology teams. Transparency is a huge issue, senior teams have big plans they will not share with teams this will impact. Getting a promotion largely hinges on halo effect of highly visible work not competency, hiring confirmation bias or popularity over the right candidate. Technical teams are short staffed with huge workloads they cannot deliver. Advice to Management Be transparent.

      Thank you for your feedback. The IPO talk referred to here was a few years ago and we are now focusing on our growth strategy. We are proud of the work we do and have published our stats in the 2022 Sustainability report. So currently 43% in our top three tiers are female and our target is 45% by end of 2023. Last year we actually hired more women than men and diversity is top of our agenda. We are looking to diversify our location strategy also and will continue to hire across the globe in our core locations. We have a speak up culture and encourage all our colleagues to talk to their manager or their managers manager if things are not clear. Alternatively please contact HR. Thank you again.
