SS&C reviews

Only take this job as an absolute last resort. I tried to think of positive things to say about this company but it was a real struggle. One positive in my time there is that SS&C got investigated by the Department of Labor and had to issue checks to dozens of employees for unpaid overtime. Incredible high turnover while I first started there and it continued through my entire tenure. Upper management clearly has no plans to change this so expect to be frustrated and discouraged as your fellow employees leave and you're expected to pick up the slack, month and month with little recognition or reward for your work. Many people come in with a great attitude and leave the job feeling discouraged. The workload is excessive, the raises are embarrassingly low, the bonuses are weak, and the career advancement opportunities are severely limited. If you have any degree of intelligence and ambition, please search long and hard before committing to a job here. At the very least commit to staying here for no more than 2 years to get some experience and then leave. All the smart people leave so you are stuck with incompetent middle management. Zero flexibility when it comes to working remotely, zero opportunity for career development or to explore working in different departments. I cannot in good conscious recommend this company to anyone looking to build a career. There are much better options out there.

SS&C is a truly shameful place to work. You will be micro managed to death. If you want to do fund accounting, please dont do it here. You will find disgruntled employees that do not have any desire to better themselves by going elsewhere. You will find that the higher ups practice a totalitarian style of management. Any mistake you make, no matter how insignificant, will be magnified come review time and you will be penalized for it. As far any accomplishments, forget about it, they will never be brought up during the annual review. They only want to focus on the negatives. You will not be trained and you will be expected to know everything about your job from day one. If you do not know something and try to ask, you will be penalized. Management shows no respect to its employees. They will shake your hand one day to thank you for your contributions, and fire you the next day. I've seen this happen. They are back stabbers and are cold as ice. I witnessed a very unethical practice done by this company that I will never forget. Things may have changed, but workload distribution was very uneven while I was there. Some work non stop throughout the day and others work for 20 minutes and surf the internet the rest of the day. Raises are insignificant. I was there 5 years only received a tiny insignificant raise twice. It was not enough to make up for the rising cost of health care insurance, so I was actually making less the longer I stayed. The reason given for no raises: "it's a bad economy right now". How pathetic is that. If you need a job desparately, stay here until you can find something else. If you dont need a job desparately, please dont waste your life by working here. I'm thankful i'm in a much better place now. Glassdoor you need to approve this review so people know the truth.
