Consensus Economics Reviews

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your experience at Consensus. This only came to our attention recently. We are sorry to read that you felt there was no training or interaction between senior staff and newer members, as this is an area we consider a strength. Because we are a small company in terms of numbers, editorial staff work in teams with Senior Editors and train right on the job. We assign all editorial assistants on day one with an editor who mentors and oversees their work, edits their country macroeconomic analyses, reviews all edits with the editorial assistant, and walks them through all the elements of the publication process. The editor also does regular deep dives with the assistant editor into the economies/currencies for which they will be taking responsibility. This entails hitting the ground running. The details-oriented nature of the work can be challenging; however, we consider learning on the job the absolute best training for any person starting in this editorial position. We will pass on your comments to senior staff in order to consider how to improve the training process. Your comment about software will also be passed on. As for pay, we constantly review starting salary which are competitive. Finally, we are a niche, research-oriented firm which focuses on accuracy and quality of analysis, and this necessitates a quieter workplace than some dealing-desk environments. Thank you for your helpful advice about asking for feedback, we will endeavour to manage better.
