Pros

Flexibility...but not because they want to provide it...because they are so under staffed I can do what I want and they won't fire me. I reached a point where I take my liberties when I need to and as long as I get my work done management does not seem to care.

Cons

Managements attitude is appalling. It's clear mid level managers themselves would rather be elsewhere but are trapped. No body cares so I stopped caring. I'll be the clients care... Employees (fund accountants...not sales) are out right threatened to get clients to complete quarterly CRM survey "or else"...."you don't want to be on this list". I'm going to laugh when they get sued for harassment. Despite having an internal organizational system the company has put little effort into truly getting all divisions on-boarded. The word "user friendly" is oddly not in their vocabulary despite being an IT software firm. At SS&C you have to figure everything out for yourself, which I guess is one way to do it, but I'm pretty sure every other company and academic institution already has proved its the most inefficient way possible. Funny this company whose sole focus is increased profits does not understand this and oddly thinks they are saving money in the end.

Pros

It would take too long to come up with something positive to say. I tried, I really, really tried. Even the very, very laid-back, casual dress isn't good - there are too many who think flip-flops and spandex pants are okay.

Cons

Lousy pay (when they give any), horrible bonuses (really? Less than .05% and you call that good?), no training what so ever, micromanagement, no stock options (even though the CEO claim we're shareholders - yeah, right), long hours and more expected, no positive feedback ever, no yearly reviews ever, managers talk down to everyone, managers lie to everyone, lousy insurance, lack of leadership, no career advancement opportunities, managers desperately need management training, CEO sends emails where he tries to sound intelligent and tries to sound like what he says is good, but everyone wonders why he even bothers to email us since they're insulting and could have been written by my twelve year old.

Pros

Casual dress code, laptop to work from home

Cons

No standardized training provided to staff, very long hours, horrible morale, culture of FEAR, deceitful management practices, zero honest communication to staff. My boss' boss shows up for work 1 day a week and (except for one) directors come in late and leave early, but we are expected to maintain 50+ hour weeks. No training given to managers on how to manage; people are put in management roles because they are good at production or haven't quit after 3 years. Staff are thrown into the fire and expected to succeed or fail on their own; turnover is outrageous. Review ratings are inconsistent and I was told we had to have some staff listed as "underperforming" in order to conform to some corporate projected trend; despite their performance. Horrible.
