Its all about the boys- Country Club Management - Senior Vice President Analytics Guy Carpenter Employee Review

Its a boys club. Especially in Analytics. You thought Mad Men Culture was a thing from the 50's and 60s? It is well and alive here in 2020. There is little opportunity for women to advance into true leadership roles ( you know outside of " female" specialties like HR, Marketing or Change Management) especially in Analytics where the tie-in with revenue is less obvious so you can't advance on the pure metrics of business wins. Women are made to do all the work, yet don't get invited to key meetings, don't get any credit and definitely don't get any decision power. If you get any speaking roles in key meetings at all, they will be scripted by your male boss- so that they can parade you as a " token." I hate to even think about how much worse it must be for women and minorities of color. No matter your job title (even an MD or SVP), if you are a woman your job will be as some sort of secretary or other tasked to do work the men won;t do. The men need a " mommy" to keep them organized, to create their decks, deal with their employees etc. And throughout, you better smile and flatter the men and be " diplomatic" lest you want to be labeled as having an " attitude problem", " bad cultural fit", or my favorite - " poor people & relationship skills, so not management or promotion material ."
