Pros

Star 1 - There are some really great contributing individuals at GlobalData Star 2 - Good office location

Cons

Unfortunately, I cannot think of anymore pros. - There are points of power within the business that are at an Exec level role, not because of their leadership qualities, but because they have worked in the sector for a number of years. This reflects across the whole business, lack of innovation, lack of direction and lack of clarity - The turnover is absolutely dreadful, something like 70% churn rate. This is due to: No tea or coffee facilities, you have to pay for everything Dirty toilets Old fashioned facilities, not up to the correct standard of ergonomics 09:00 - 18:00 working time with no flexibility Inappropriate sales leaders (this is a large, global corporation) Small, inexperienced HR team who lack direction No employee engagement or recognition for high achievement (apart from sales) Lack of progression for all roles No benefits 20 days holiday and 3 of those days must be taken at Christmas No training or development programmes

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.
