GlobalData reviews

There is no career development structure in the research/analyst section. Management take 3-5 days off per week regularly. There is additional training and the management do not respond to emails, don’t turn up to meetings. Even if you demonstrate initiative or show enthusiasm it is quickly dismissed or ignored. It’s very much a case of old boys club management as most senior management moved over from Data Monitor. Research reports are regurgitated and management refuse to pay for updated software. All in all, bad research product, worse management. Global data is the Ryanair of research...cheap but poor quality with high staff turnover due to demoralisating management style.

They water down the soap. The toilets are a state, the floors are wet and you don't want to touch the walls. It was so bad that I would hold off going to the toilet to go somewhere else at lunch or wait until I got home. There is favouritism from management, and they don't like new ideas or improvements. The senior management team may as well not exist, you won't see them let alone engage with them. The CEO walks around with a frown on his face. There is not a proper kitchen, if you want to make a coffee you will need to buy one from the company. All of the furniture is cheap, old, and probably second hand. The turnover is unreal.
