Pros

Many smart and hardworking colleagues. Remote work, flexible schedules.

Cons

Their cultural values are disingenuous. A lot of lip service is paid to how important the values are, and people will cite to them when they are useful, but leadership will ignore them when they are not helpful to them on some issue. As other reviews have mentioned, be wary of all the 5 star reviews on here. They will push you to write a positive review very early in your tenure. The vibe can be quite cult-y, which some people definitely appreciate and is helpful if you are fully bought in to the company, but it feels very exclusionary if or when you ever make a mistake. Below market compensation, especially on equity. Individual performance metrics can be very unclear and vague, and goalposts will shift so that it’s very hard to measure how you’re doing. This feels intentional, and it lets them get rid of you at a moment’s notice when budgets change, priorities change, etc. Very little room for error or improvement. The alternative data world is a very crowded space, with lots of well-funded competitors. Some teams are incredibly burnt out and understaffed, and leadership does not prioritize their well-being. Your customers are highly demanding and aggressive financial institution clients like hedge funds. There is extreme pressure related to this, and it bleeds down through the org. Not an environment for everyone.

Pros

Some good front-line managers, smart peers, remote work. A lot of people putting forward their best efforts and hitting numbers in an, at times, brutal environment.

Cons

Revenue: -Disorganized leadership, with forced micromanagement cranking up to 11 (metrics, metrics, metrics) -Being told something new is the most important, once a week -Churn and burn culture, somehow hit 1H targets, and no fanfare or celebration, just back to the grind -Glacial pace for changes that matter to employees (culture, L&D, fair/clear career ladders, leadership changes, strategy) -Hyper speed for changes that benefit shareholders (GTM, new products we want to sell) -Attrition would be through the roof if there was a better job market -"We promise we're listening" culture, with very little action -GLG Takeover, nearly every leader comes from GLG, and those who weren't have been pushed out. Ex-GLG has clear favoritism towards being hired, as well as being promoted Company-wide: -Leadership communication, feels like c-suite are completely disconnected from reality when they send out FTE emails telling us that a grave problem facing our business model is "not wearing collared shirts to client meetings" -Cultural values are all buzzwords that leaders use to shirk responsibility or make decisions (impact + judgement being two of the worst) -Layoffs even when CEO said multiple times there wouldn't be -Company released video explaining why we're paying you below market rate, and why it's okay to do so for +transparency

Pros

-Great place to pick up domain knowledge on the alternative data space -Great place to learn SQL and Python skills if you are non-technical -When times are good, they are really good and you can get decent bonuses if you are in Client Strategy or New Business or Corporate.

Cons

The organization is a revenue driven company with a culture where top revenue performers will always get the entirety of the credit and non of the blame. No joke there was once a Senior Director (L7) who had 4 DIRECTORS reporting to them at one time who each had 0-1 direct reports. Literally an entire department of 8 people where 6 of them were L6+, getting very good comp, not actually leading a team, and just coasting by on the culture of revenue department favoritism. Meanwhile, the product/data department (the people who actually do the work) are burnt-out, under-compensated, given no room for mistakes, have no career growth, and also see their job shipped overseas in order to keep the senior leadership band of pre-Norwest headcount in there seats. Somewhere around 2023, the CEO stopped listening to product leadership and just did whatever the revenue leaders wanted. They've built a company that everyone is starting to realize shouldn't have actually been scaled.
