      Pros

      You get to learn a lot because there is no guidance, training or resources on how to adequately do your job.

      Cons

      GlobalData is a shambolic company with no morals or ethics towards its employees or clients. They often lie to clients in order to get sales...you are expected to complete impossible tasks under impossible deadlines with no resources or guidance on how to do your job. Senior management take no responsibility for their disastrous plans and often blame analysts for work they have not had the time to do or the resources to complete. Additionally, the office is aweful with no basic commodities (kettles, microwaves or hot water), so expect to waste most of your meager wage on lunch. Most interestingly, is the fake reviews posted on glassdoor to facilitate a recent recruitment drive. Please note that is drive is due to over 15 people having resigned in the last two months. A company that is willing to use underhanded tactics to raise its rating on glassdoor shows the petty nature of the people running it. Please dont fall for it and avoid this place at all costs.

      Pros

      Good frequent communications from the business development team on how Analyst-led client interactions has lead to them earn six figues on someone elses hard work. Good for HR to look out for our health and safety, someone accidentally ordered a hot water dispenser but luckily this was removed before someone died/had a serious accident. Good suggestion by one of the reviews below to each out for lunch every day. Paying the typical £8 for lunch in the area is not cheap on analyst salaries but analyst should prioritise networking over social life. GD recognises that in other companies the paying of bonus in highly politicised and controversial, so good decision on punishing everyone equally. Unlike other companies, GD is not elitist in anyway. In fact they have shown they are more progressive by having an "inverted pyramid" structure where the slowest people are promoted each year.

      Cons

      Due to restructuring, we no longer get to hear ITs humourous one liners. Not enough levels I.e. instead of Analyst, Senior Analyst, Director there should be Analyst 1, Analyst 2, Snr analyst 1, Snr analyst 2, managing analyst, associate director, junior director, director 1, director 2, co-senior director, director OVERRIDE.

      Pros

      Work wise is way better than most of the big companies. You will learn so many new things if you are a analytical person. learning Flexibility (depend on your manager and team) Salary will be credited in your account on the last working day. Too many cultural events

      Cons

      Management is the boss. "Boss is always right" Transparency No motivational factor Managers Salary (worst) Max hike in appraisal will be 10% (if you are doing exceptionally well). Promotion 15% No growth (you may have to wait 4 years for promotion). Too much of work Unrealistic targets They are still using Windows XP with 256 ram (takes at least half an hour to start), even your mobile has better processor and ram. Cafeteria (worst food). If you are a vegan you may end up eating non-veg unknowingly in the form of worms in rice. Benefits (no benefits). Managers will take all the credits and cash, and will give you pennies.
