GlobalData reviews

Firstly they headhunt and recruit a lot of people through LinkedIn promising the world which doesn't materialise, eg training schedules, promotion opps. They must have a labour turnover rate well above 50% as people commonly left on a weekly basis. Secondly, there is no interaction between the sales teams and the analyst teams so you have no correlation between what service we are able to offer and what the client requires, constant battle to speak with back-office teams and as a result really poor sales approach. Thirdly, the sales training division struts around the office like they've reinvented the sales wheel. However, you quickly realise they're only on hand to help the division that are doing well and won't help newer teams in the initial stages. Furthermore, it's very commercial focused, which wasn't a problem for me so much however if you're below the sales manager expect constant KPI checking and micromanagement. Finally, and the worst part for me. There's an embarrassingly poor culture with the upper and mid-managers who commonly make inappropriate jokes based on race and sex to the point it was uncomfortable to work under these people.

So many to name it's tough to put into words. Firstly the role is mis sold to almost everyone on the team. They are hiring Senior BD people for fundamentally a telesales role. Mentality is to ring as many irrelevant leads as possible and hope for the best. Once you get lucky enough to book a demo you will then have to put up with your manager actually steamrolling your deal with some of the oldest, cliche driven monologues I've ever heard. At times I was wondering if I had been transported to the 1960's with the constant sexist, homophobic and old school sales talk coming out of management almost daily. Aside from this the overall organization within the whole company is laughable. I could be listening to a plan of action for the month in our team meeting and then is contradicted by the same person 5 minutes later which emphasizes the general consensus that management is winging it. Conversion rate is the worst I have ever seen at any of my prior jobs. This is a combination of the leads being an absolute joke to your manager literally taking over your deals and offering discounts with or without your consent. Lastly a comment about the overall office. Tatty would quite an understatement. Chairs and tables are badly in need of replacing, paying for coffee on your floor is unheard of in other sales environments, toilets are disgusting, lifts are a joke, invest in a cleaner how you can call yourself a multi national company and still not invest in a cleaner is not ok.
