      It's all about the money

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits, they even pay bonuses

      Cons

      Most decisions made with only cost in mind. If they can get it done cheaper outsde the U.S, it goes to Eastern Europe or Asia, and if that means it takes two days to get a simple communication done (like a manager answering a question), they don't care. Discussion about improvements to products always end with "We don't have the resources." Layoffs happen every year and are done by a formula, with no attention to quality of work.

      Work not ideal for investment/finance professionals

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good compensation and benefits Large bonus they say..

      Cons

      Work is routinary. Mostly it is about data gathering, similar to market data vendors like reuters. Work involves a lot of IT, and very little finance. Most jobs not relevant to CFA, FRM or other finance/investment certifications. Company reducing cost. Wont pay OT on work on Sunday, but instead gives time off on week day.

      Unfocused driving, no accountability and tired, paranoid culture

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Highly skilled associates Average to decent salary Resources from the hybrid of organizations interesting projects

      Cons

      Senior management care only about themselves. Local office heads and senior veterans not motivated to really help underlings. Often make it known they despise their role. in tricky market we know not where we're going. Fragmented data, models and meetings. Clannish, devisive behavior interfering with client mtgs, conference participation and trust. Favoritism, etc. Guidance and accountability seriously lacking in the Coverage, Project Management and Facilities units. Particularly in the New York and SF Bay offices. Good luck getting any emails answered. Or seeing any consistent meetings out of them. Outsourcing so much that we've chopped off our own feet and it's a challenge to go forward. Especially without vision, communication, trust and fairness.
