Pros

Some pockets of the business where the culture has tried to maintain itself after acqusition are the only pros.

Cons

This place is an absolute disaster to work at. Leadership's message from Rahul and Bill is simply cut cost to increase margin at any non financial expense. There has been a complete mass exodus of talent from Intralinks (their most profitable business which has led to a huge decrease in marketshare) as well as a few of their other recent acquistions. There are first hand accounts of SSNC's newly promoted head of sales participating in inappropriate behavior with colleagues which got swept under the rug. There truly is no People first culture. Women only receive 2 weeks of paid maternity leave. They will not increase compensation to be competitive despite an aggressive jobs market poaching talent and will then complain when attrition numbers are high. They do not take the time to meet with the employees of the companies they acquire and take no interest in the actual detail of their business. It's purely numbers. Cronyism is the only way of advancement - Just take a look at how long the Exectuive leadership team has been there as well as who they just appointed Head of Sales - Alternatives (family).

Pros

- There isn't one pro to working here. Maybe experience but that's not even worth it.

Cons

Management has no appreciation for any of its employees. You're expected to work long hours and weekends with no extra pay or incentive. The pay is also horrible. DO NOT WORK HERE. You're better off working at place with minimum wage and OT like McDonalds, at least they appreciate their employees. There is not one person that likes working here.

Pros

SS&C is the largest fund admin in the world.

Cons

SS&C is like a slumlord. They've grown the business via acquisition and look at all their holdings as profit centers. They don't care about or invest in the people, the technologies, or the culture of the business. Senior management only cares about profitability. They just suck the cash out of everything under the holding company. Bill Stone cares about Bill Stone. And maybe Rahul Kanwar (COO). There's zero structure or organization to the business, which the CEO would argue is the driving force behind the "success" of the business, but in reality it's the leading cause for a lack of culture. If you’re looking for a fun, collaborative, and upbeat sales culture, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for a soulless and disorganized sales structure where reps steal deals from one another and stab each other in the back, this is your spot. Despite the CEO constantly stating in public forums that SS&C is a "people first" organization, it's NOT at all. Case in point, look at all the comments employees have left on the Glassdoor page. How many times has SS&C responded to any of them? They don't care. Would you want to trust your career with a company that’s rated 2.8 out of 5?
