Pros

Great management and colleagues Amazing work-life balance Growth opportunities Pretty good pay

Cons

The ESG environment is not that established so it doesn't feel like I have great job security, but nothing is 100% certain in life anyway.

Pros

The people. The teams have some of the most intelligent, dedicated people I have ever met.

Cons

The management structure at the organization appears to be in disarray, lacking clear direction and consistency. Changes in job descriptions and assigned tasks occur frequently, leading to uncertainty and confusion among employees. Regrettably, some individuals are hired only to face termination shortly thereafter, particularly evident during recent large-scale layoffs. Furthermore, there are significant discrepancies in salary levels among colleagues performing similar duties, ranging from 15% to 20% differences. This issue is compounded by below-market-average pay rates, which contribute to feelings of dissatisfaction and demotivation among employees. Concerningly, promotions seem to be granted to individuals who may not be adequately prepared or qualified for managerial roles. Additionally, a toxic culture pervades the workplace, as evidenced by the breach of confidentiality during one-on-one discussions with managers, which are inappropriately shared across various locations. Moreover, the organization's policies regarding office presence mandate a return to in-person work despite inadequate facilities, including a shortage of desks, a broken kitchen sink persisting for two years, and a severe lack of restroom facilities relative to the employee population.

Pros

Nice colleagues and human resource staff.

Cons

The company has lost its European culture since acquisition by Morningstar and ever since everything is around targets and higher revenue. Although it is ESG rating provider, it attention to all the items in ESG are minimal and even they do not have consistent approach in different regions in terms of employment conditions. They went through major reorganization and during 2 years, they had 3 rounds of layoffs.

Pros

Great colleagues, mission-driven, interesting projects

Cons

Morningstar acquisition not positive, which was clear early on and what made me decide to leave. Following the company from the sideline with all the (poorly communicated) layoffs makes me sad - Sustainalytics used to be a great company.
