Pros

Very nice office, free meals. Big firm with good resources.

Cons

Zero concern for analysts. Lousy pay. Recruiters exaggerate bonus potential during hiring process without disclosing unfavourable deferred comp structure. Analysts get fired on a whim. Partners and PMs hoard most of the profit and throw chump change to analysts. Management could care less about developing analysts.

Bad place for analysts

Business Outlook

Pros

Firm was growing in assets. Employees were friendly.

Cons

Five star reviews not accurate, likely written by HR. They sell you hard on the firm upfront when you get an offer and claim turnover is very low with upward mobility. In reality analysts get fired arbitrarily without warning for non-performance related reasons. Very political place with fiefdoms all around. Promotions and job stability based on playing political games and not merit. The firm is cheap and underspends on resources. Most analysts are underpaid. They do not give analysts laptops and mobile devices. Management in US does not understand how to run the fundamentals fund side of business.

Marshall Wace Response

We are disappointed by the comment posted. We accept that some ex-employees have a different view of the organisation. We believe this is certainly not representative of the culture within Marshall Wace and we work tirelessly to maintain a vibrant, entrepreneurial environment in which employees can thrive. The investment culture runs deep within the organisation, and we also benefit from a flat and open structure that rewards success.
