There is very little room for growth or advancement with SS&C. Once hired at this company you might as well look at it as a paycheck or place holder until you can find something else. The company markets itself as a software company but puts no money or resources into the enhancement of their software packages.
There is no structure or accountability nor are there any real rewards. Upper management is clueless and refuses to learn or address the current problems. The common practice is to create a process, but not one that will be enforced or followed. It is merely put in place to point the finger at someone else if unrealistic deadlines are missed.
This company is very much focused on Sales. Sell it now, build it later. If the client gets upset…that’s okay…there are more out there. Client retention is rapidly decreasing.
The executive level of the company is a joke. Emails from Bill Stone are printed and hung up around the office for people to laugh at. They rarely make sense and if they do they are in no way inspiring. Bill may want to start writing them around 1pm instead of 1am.
Bonus and Raises are small and constantly months late with very little of a performance review. Goals for the next year and career growth are very unclear and often ignored.
It is unfortunate the company doesn’t realize what it is doing. They have some extremely bright people who what to work and are proud of their work, but with no recognition or rewards that talent is exiting quickly.
