Pros

To be fair, they have a decent looking office on fifth avenue in New York. HR staff are generally nice and helpful. Some colleagues are hard working and decent people. The company holds some nice parties.

Cons

The company has very low budget and very tight timelines of delivering product. It put emphasis on product delivery rather than product quality. The company do not have resources and man power to document their products so you are walking in a maze if you work there. Some of the employees spend their days spying on others and tattle tale rather than being cooperative and focus on their work. The management is arrogant and condones such unproductive behavior. They treat very capable employees like garbage and let them go in an annual ritual. The company pays symbolic bonus and boosts morale by handing out "awards" which mount to nothing in reality. The stock option package is so small that a 9 year old can figure out that it is not worth much EVEN IF the company does have a great IPO.

Pros

Reval has a very close knit team environment and is a great fun place to work and grow. It definitely fosters a great work-life balance. Since it has a small firm feel, there is definitely room for career growth if you know your 'thing'. And there is definitely great opportunities to learn on the job as the projects are usually new and interesting things coming up in Risk Management space.

Cons

Reval has great reserves of smart techies n smarter deal makers. It sure has a tremendous upside potential for growth as a firm, but one that has yet to be 'unlocked' !

It is great that you felt like part of a close knit team, and that you see Reval as a fun place to work. Reval works very hard in promoting a sustainable work/life balance for our employees. We try to provide many exciting career opportunities for our global staff as well. The fact that over 20% of our open positions in 2014 were filled internally by employees that came from all of the regions in which we operate is testament to our commitment to giving our employees international work experience. Because of our talented employees, we ended 2014 with record-breaking bookings, signaling tremendous growth ahead. We thank you for your contributions at Reval and are honored to have had you on our team.
