Free food, dating is encouraged; great as a first job (no one else need apply).

Operations analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great building, competitive salary, excellent benefits package, multi-cultural environment. If you are fresh from college, have no work experience, or would like to find someone to date, an excellent place to work! Unlikely to get fired for any reason. Free food. Really high turnover, so you may get a sales job even if you were a programmer.

Cons

Ethically void. A/C and Heating are unstable. If your boss is harassing you, and you tell their boss and HR, YOU will be written up (but still given a bonus). Management is incompetent (promotions based on the ability to brown nose, not actual ability to do/learn/improve anything aside from staying in same position for 8 years).

Great packages, but not a great place to learn

Reporter

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits packages. They take care of you. It's a culture that prizes efficiency above all else. It's easy to get postings abroad. They're the dominant player in the financial data market.

Cons

There is little flexibility in terms of people's roles. The company has grown so fast that it is no longer as entrepreneurial as it used to be. It is incrementally innovative but never fundamentally innovative. The culture seems to prize the amount of hours employees spend at the terminal as opposed to the quality or originality of ideas they contribute. Loyalty is also paramount.
