Lacklustre leadership lets down org with great staff and mission - Avis employé Manager InfluenceMap

The pay is good and the experience can be good depending on what you do. The mission is important

Career progression can really stall if there happens to be no job to move up into or more people to manage. InfluenceMap can expect a lot of it's employees. Often 1-2 employees are given really ambitious projects with very little expertise to pull on. This can be great if you succeed and you learn a lot. But can also be very stressful if you end up struggling. The management can be very chaotic and out of touch with the core work force and often decisions seem to be nonsensical. For example, often research needs to be almost completely redone because right at the end when ready for review, management suddenly decide they want a different data source.

The team of analysts is very supportive and knowledgeable. It’s also a good role for learning about how policies and lobbying operate.

The management team is generally very poor, with little to no training provided for managers, which leaves many unqualified for their roles. The company runs more like a production line of analysts, with repetitive tasks, minimal opportunities for progression, and limited pay rises. Senior leadership, including the CEO, appears out of touch with the day-to-day reality, and the culture can at times be unprofessional. Overall, this job can be draining, and I would recommend looking elsewhere for a role with genuine career development and better management.
