Pros

- fun people work there. - majority are nice people - young culture

Cons

- aggressive management - focus on making money - made to work like a hamster in a wheel - cocain users will like it here as people regularly snort cocain before leaving work on a Friday night - non graduates and graduates recruited for the same "graduate level" job - finally, did you really really go to university to cold call all day and not use your brain?

Thank you for your review. Our people are what makes our business unique and I’m pleased to hear you were supported by friendly colleagues in your team during your time here. The innovative, fast paced nature of our business means we’re proud to attract ambitious colleagues early in their careers looking to develop with us, which creates the young culture and sociable office environment you refer to. We work hard to create a safe and professional working environment for all our employees, and I’d like to reassure you that we take substance misuse very seriously. GlobaData has a zero tolerance policy on non-prescribed medical and illegal drugs. In the event we are made aware of a specific allegation of this nature, we would of course investigate fully and if proven take appropriate disciplinary action.

Pros

Supportive team, collaboration within the team

Cons

You never get a raise or promotion, not even annual inflation adjustment. Higher management doesn’t care about you or any other employees. They are only concern about generating more revenue without even appreciating or giving any perks to their employees.
