Pros

it was my first job so obviously that is the only reason I always will pay gratitude towards this company. for me this is the only good point

Cons

Management is pathetic. Favoritism is at its height, if you favorite of the manager or the lead then you ill get to learn a lot, you will get opportunities on working on multiple tasks and if you are not then you are totally ignored, and this favoritism is on the basis of how your personnel relations are with them. Professionalism is zero, people use words like "Anna" for there managers which is completely non professional. the management or leads will never praise you no matter how much work you do, for the manager the first impression is the last impression no matter how fast you grow they will always consider your first impression in mind. the team leads just wanted to have a good impression in front of the management and for that they won't mind hiding there mistakes and putting all the blames over the associates. if you are in GDME team the another team will always mock you that you do nothing. no matter how much hard work you do how much long hours you work, your manager & project head will just come and say infront of the whole office that this team is useless it do nothing only few people work and they are only doing everything

Pros

Good product unethical sexist working environment. Waste of time!!!

Cons

Upper management is a total disaster. There is no such thing as communication, the team I use to work for was fairly new and received no direction what so ever, no training, we were all over promised a certain type of structure and was never fulfilled. There is no HR in the New York office. No bonuses, no opportunities for networking, very poorly managed Worst company I have ever worked for, an extreme boys club, complete lack of ethics , as mentioned in a past post below "Only work here if you want a RACIST, SEXIST, and homophobic work environment with INCOMPETENT HR to go along. If you'd like to face harassment on a daily basis, work at a place with poor business ethics, and be around people who don't care about what they do, this is the place for you." Every single thing above is a fact, and it was experienced. Huge mistake taking on a role at GlobalData.

Pros

The product development team in which I worked, had a dynamic workload covering exciting brands from the public and private side of the business. This meant there was always plenty to get your teeth into and that delivering a high quality project for a high profile brand was a consistently rewarding and satisfying experience. Personally I worked with a very good manager and team that made my experience substantially more worthwhile and found certainly from my role's perspective the senior management to - for the most part - be very savvy and commercially geared yet approachable and hands on.

Cons

Given the heavier workload, the salary was very much at a Junior level compared to the expected level of work. Especially if you factor in the lack of performance related bonuses and limited opportunities to increase it. Not only this but there's an exceptionally high level of demand and stress put on employees to deliver rapid and consistent quality, which is certainly important for the business but can certainly take a toll on morale and staff turnover, 12 hour days were certainly common.
