Pros

some Good product portfolio's some terrible, focused on sales so really good training, good rewards and incentives for top performers. face paced environment, youngish crowd and good social aspect

Cons

lack of upward progression for some, a bit of a political game here. Some managers are not so knowledgeable, some good, overall a lot of frustrating processes exist within the business. the sale floor after the merger with Datamonitor is a little bit boiler room and some of the managers reflect that, but overall most are ok.

Pros

Decent benefits, nice co-workers, some international travel, and modern offices. I loved having unlimited sick time but never abused it.

Cons

This is thoroughly a British company. All key leadership is in the U.K., and they rarely visit American offices. This company is notoriously cheap and cost cutting always wins the day. All U.S. offices are simple satellites to the U.K. corporate offices. Let’s be real, if you are a U.S. employee, don’t expect to be paid well, don’t expect a decent raise, don’t expect development nor advancement, and do not expect the C-suite or division leaders to listen nor care. You are a cog in a machine which is designed to facilitate the offering of low quality information products and services to the U.S. market as a way to soak up as much public and private dollars as possible.
