Pros

Former Fidessa employee. Prior to its purchase by Ion, the company was a great place to work. Salary was average, but benefits were good, culture was good and the people you worked with were great. Fidessa had a lot of respect for its employees and its clients.

Cons

After the acquisition, the company has gone downhill. Tons of people with 5 to 10+ years of exp, left and were not replaced. Employees left behind are overworked and unappreciated. Expect a ton of weekend work and poor work/life balance. Hiring process is ridiculous. It takes upwards of 6+ months to hire anyone because it sits on owners desk for months before it gets approved or rejected.

Pros

- worked here with some of the most talented people I've met in the city - NY office is beautiful, fantastic view - company events are nice - support for international workers with I, H1B, O1 visas and green card applications

Cons

- extremely hard to get a raise - morale has been tanking because of mass layoffs - everything has to go through the CEO, who takes a very long time to sign off on anything
