      An abysmal sales culture

      Sales director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      GlobalData's flagship product is their pharma data base. It is really second to none. If you need data regarding drug trials, what drugs are in what phase of development, sales projections etc, this is it.

      Cons

      In office sales culture is unbelievably bad. Management failed to provide the most basic tools for outreach and pipeline development. Also, HR is afraid of it's own shadow. No loyalty or support for management.

      False positive reviews

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The reviews here are largely false. Look at the many that have been placed on Aug 19, 2022. All very positive, all very similar - zero are true. Honest reviews will tell you that GD is a very tough place to work, a toxic culture and low pay. You're treated very poorly with little to no empathy. You are just a number to them. Nothing more. Internal reviews, like all the other PR stuff that GD announce is just what it is. PR. A tick box to fill so that they can say they care and do everything they can for their employees. The reality is they don't.

      Cons

      Too many to mention here.

      Not a stable organization

      Sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good product to sell in specific areas (pharma) but lacking depth in most others. Pizza on Fridays.

      Cons

      Definitely run by a clique of Brits - if you aren't one of them forget getting ahead. They have a very old school sales mentality -- smile and dial with daily KPI reviews, must be in office from 8 am to 5 pm, almost no marketing support, prices are variable to the point it feels like selling used cars and all discounts need to be approved by very senior management. Get in writing all promises during the interview phase. Management appears to be setting up to sell to PE, they laid off a bunch of sales reps, sales managers and analysts in early June which will dramatically reduce expenses The pharma team is definitely favored.
