Thank you for taking the time to share you experience. First, it's really great to hear that you value flexible working approach and our annual leave policy support you and other colleagues well. It really is important for us that WoodMackers have the space they need to balance work and life. Feedback like this suggests that it is largely working but we need to keep improving and not rest on our laurels. Turning to your concern: You raise an important concern about layoffs and turnover. We know this has been difficult for WoodMackers. We have made some tough organisational decisions to align our structure with our long‑term strategy and how we as a company can create value. These decisions were not taken lightly, and we absolutely understand the impact they have on our colleagues and on overall morale. Our focus is on ensuring stability. Investing in key parts of the business (which you hopefully have seen) and strengthening career development so people can see a clear future here and have the ability to move around the business too. Retention, trust and culture really are priorities for us. We're committed to making steady, tangible process. Thank you again for your honest and for all you do for WoodMac.

Pros

Appreciated working with smart, driven colleagues; they were truly experts in their fields. The rigorous schedules we were on were strictly maintained, which usually made for a very organized structure and workload.

Cons

Leadership went through many changes and acquisitions while I was there. The mission seemed to keep changing, and it wasn't easy to maintain consistency in our reports with such leadership changes. Market analysts were often pulled onto consulting projects but were not paid as consultants. This is what pushed me to leave.
