      Pros

      MMIT acquired many companies and now the all the companies together became Norstella. MMIT had great work life balance and very healthy work culture before the acquisitions.

      Cons

      After acquisitions the culture changed completely. People from newly acquired companies are at higher position and spoiled the whole MMIT culture. Work life balance is completely finished !! There is only stress, pressure and around the clock thankless work. The CEO promotes the principles but after the acquisitions those principles are just for namesake. You can not share any issues with HR as they are not trustable anymore and there is fear of getting fired. If you want to forget your personal life and sanity join the Norstella team.

      Pros

      * Remnants of multiple formerly great businesses, each of which had an enviable culture. * Some really good people, with fantastic institutional and industry knowledge. Sadly they are fewer and fewer over time. * Offices, especially in Boston, NY and London were modern and well-outfitted.

      Cons

      Sadly, the formerly great business have been gutted since combination. * Strategic mismanagement (value destroying mergers & acquisitions) * Poor financial forecasting and budgeting (leading to at least two rounds of layoffs per year) * Awful leadership and cronyism (several of the senior leadership are incompetent at best, destructive at worst) * Limited job security due to frequent layoffs and ongoing off-shoring of roles * Crazy levels of politics, leading to huge amounts of wasted energy.
