You are free to wear flip flops!

Software Engineer (Current Employee)
New York, NY (US)

I have been working at Capital IQ full-time for more than a year

ProsNo dress code - you can wear whatever the hell you like provided it's not indecent.
Quite flexible hours - nobody is watching over you to be sure you're at work at exactly 9:00. I usually come around 9:45-10, no issue.

ConsNot much in the way career advancement - this is why some older more experiences folks started leaving.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

boring company, boring product

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)
London, England (UK)

I have been working at Capital IQ full-time for more than 3 years

Prosrelaxed atmosphere, nobody seems to work very hard
good people

Consthe place lacks energy.
the takeover by S&P has been unsettling. 2 very different cultures, products and sales approach coming together will always be challenging, but the S&P management does not make the best judgement on what should be done.
After 9 months, people still did not get their comp plan
too much politics in the office

Advice to Senior Managementgive people their comp plan sooner
work on improving your performance on each product line rather than try to run the business and integrate all the companies and products all at once.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
