Pros

Some intelligent people & possibly a good stepping stone from an upstream operator or service company to a more commercial role.

Cons

Zero benefits, ridiculous KPIs and sadly a race to the bottom in terms of publication quality (eg management push for articles such as ‘Top 10 Capex fields in Europe’, rather than deep and insightful articles). Many of the publications are good though, and the globaldata energy product is first rate. Sadly all areas of the company are underinvested in -bar sales teams who get good benefits- which unfortunately leads to big gaps in product quality due to analysts being spread too thinly.

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.
