Pros

The team I worked in were lovely people an the office space is nice.

Cons

Very poor management style, especially from senior managers. The pay was desperately poor (around 15.000 euros p/a below market value for the job we had to do). On 14th October 2025, there were mass layoffs with very poor communication and were undertaken in a very unpleasant way. This company should be avoided as an employer.

We’re sorry to hear that your experience, particularly regarding management practices, compensation, and the way communication was handled during a difficult period, did not meet your expectations.

Your feedback clearly indicates areas where communication and leadership did not have the intended impact, and we take this very seriously. At the same time, we appreciate your acknowledgment of the positive team environment and the office space.

Pros

I can't speak for everyone that works here, but considering my specific department and what I do, I love working here and I love the environment I get to do it in. Still get to work from home some days. FANTASTIC parental leave, generous vacation and health days that in crease with a few years in. Friendly office filled with co-workers you actually want to be around. I always say the job is yours to lose if you do what you're supposed to and do it well you shouldn't face too many issues here.

Cons

- Salary needs to be more competitive - Biggest bottleneck is often having to go through our headquarters in Germany which can take forever especially if it's after hours for them and we're still working (wish we were more self-reliant or allowed to be) - Low budget set for profit centers to be able to do certain job functionalities properly sometimes. - Health Insurance needs to be better (better coverage for better pricing) - Missing 401K company match

Dear colleague, Thank you for your detailed and positive review and for sharing your long-term perspective. We’re very pleased to hear that you enjoy your role, the work environment, and the flexibility, benefits, and parental leave offered, as well as the strong sense of community in the New York office. We also appreciate your open and constructive feedback regarding compensation, local autonomy, budgets, and benefits such as health insurance and retirement plans. These are important topics, and perspectives from experienced colleagues help inform ongoing discussions and improvements, particularly across regions. Thank you for your continued commitment and engagement. We’re glad to have you as part of the team and wish you continued success at Statista. Best regards, Team Talent Acquisition

Pros

-The only pro is the people, not any one in leadership (probably due to a trauma bond)

Cons

Where to even start, this company used to be a great company to work for where people came together to help eachother succeed. Our leaders used to care about your growth and success now you are just given more and more responsibility’s and expected to go above and beyond. Where hitting unrealistic targets is just seen as meeting expectations. Leaders and HR set a three days in office policy that employees are expected to adhere to while they never actually show up to the office or if they do they leave at 3pm. People are now often used as scapegoats, and what was once a people first, inclusive culture turned into a culture of blame, micromanagement and favoritism. Add all the above to below market salaries for NYC and that’s the type of company the Statista Americas is. It feels like a sinking ship that everyone is leaving before they have yet another round of layoffs. I would recommend to be very hesitant and in dire need of a job if you are thinking about working here.
