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

You get to have exposure and take on jobs outside of your role.

Cons

GlabalData is an absolute disgrace, the business condemns and dismisses employees left right centre. You will be given multiple responsibilities outside of your job spec. You will find yourself buried with work with no support given and at a single sign of struggle you will be dismissed. Mike is a man who likes to show dominance by playing with people’s lives like they’re his puppets. If you wish to keep your dignity and sanity, please do not work for this Company. You will be seen as a number and nothing more.
