Pros

Like all companies this one has some pros. Most of the pros are levers that management uses to make sure people are not upset about the other things. These include benefits like company trips, iphones, lunches, drinks.

Cons

Where management and IMC goes wrong is its hypocrisy. Management thesis is that people are generally not smart to figure out the line they are being sold. So they say one thing while their actions speak another. Eventually people find out and are not happy including this poster. The problem essentially is that IMC is a dutch company and they do not trust Americans even though Chicago is their largest office. Americans do not make up an significant management in Chicago and those that did are now gone. Amsterdam sends over troops of Dutch to keep the locals in check. Another thing wrong with this place is the utter lack of experience. Average work experience here is about 2 years. This means it is like a college and decision making is very sophomoric.

Pros

There's plenty of niceties working here. They will take you on a big trip once a year, throw big parties on Fridays, offer you free massages, give you a fully stocked kitchen, and pay for your health premiums.

Cons

But sadly, this place is only worthy of two stars. Some members of the staff are untouchable, all others are informed that they can be quickly replaced. Morale here is low. It's sad because this used to be a really fun place to work. I used to have friends asking if they could submit their resumes to IMC, now my co-workers are updating their resumes over lunch. If you're interviewing at IMC, ask what the turnover is like.
