Startup Fun Culture with perfect Professionalism and Work

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at Capital IQ as an intern

ProsIts the perfect mix of a professional work culture and startup fun. You learn a lot, get mentored a lot, get challenging work but see people full of energy around you playing games, shouting, laughing, throwing jokes, making fun - that is you never get bored.
There will never be a lack of energy and fun
There will never be a lack of learning and quality work

ConsDon't go by the negative reviews. I had really low expectations from the company after reading them but am so glad now that I joined it

– I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

A great opportunity to gain exposure to coding in the .NET environment.

Summer Software Developer Intern (Former Employee)

I worked at Capital IQ

ProsIt did not feel corporate. The cubicles were low and we had floor-wide weekly meetings that were very open. Everyone was very welcome and helpful, the attitude everyone had was both stimulating and encouraging.

ConsIf you were looking for a more formal place to work, Capital IQ is not it. The culture is very casual, which I liked, but I know some people may prefer dressing up every day and having stricter routines.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep the culture the way it is! The work offered to interns was cool because we felt like we really accomplished a project at the end of the summer.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
