Pros
The pros are that there are genuinely good people working at the company. I’ve met some amazing colleagues whom I’ll truly cherish. It makes my heart happy to have worked alongside people like them. At the same time, it breaks my heart to see that these are the very people suffering from these foolish decisions made by foolish leadership.
Cons
When I joined, Mintel was a safe place. Under CEO Mattew Nelson, that changed. They don’t know what they’re doing. They pick scapegoats first layoff in February then June saying m it’s not about performance, but they keep people who sit like furniture. These folks know nothing about the product, don’t understand GNPD, and yet they sit in leadership. They don’t even know how to use GNPD, and that’s who they keep. The company is a circus run by jokers.
