EDHEC Reviews

-Extremely high turnover -company barely making any profits in Europe. Opened many offices/representations in Singapore/US but business has not really picked up. -very top down company with no opportunity to suggest ideas -they want people smart enough to do the job but not smart enough to challenge decisions -Not a good name in the industry and no one really understand the concept of "research for industry" -company just re-uses old research with no real innovation -projects change overnight and people end up working on 10 projects in one year with no real added value. -Company wants to be very international yet all decisions are taken from Nice (south of France) with no international scope

No career progression, people often spend a few months in one role and then their profile changes 180 degrees without much discussion. The organisation tends to hire highly qualified people and pay them well but mistrust them for a long time. No proper training, you are expected to be autonomous, but at the same time, your work is micro-managed. Bloated sales organisation with many people doing meaningless work and insufficient resources where revenue generation actually should happen. A lot of politics and restrictions. Poor business strategy in general, slow or completely lacking in understanding of the business and industry, from a business point of view (but intellectual IP is top notch and that cannot be denied). In some cases people are not qualified for the work they are asked to do. No teamwork or sense of team.
