Interactive Data Reviews

Pros

Decent offices and benefits...had a great team of people working there but they outsourced all their jobs so not any more.

Cons

Dead end jobs with no progression unless someone else moves on. They under pay compared to market and competitors. No training opportunities either.

Pros

Work life balance is flexible if you are fortunate to work for a good manager. There are a few good people in the organisation if you are lucky to work for one of the good ones.

Cons

There is a very silo'd mentality with RTS in my opinion being the poor relation to PRD. Middle management in RTS is majority staffed by people waiting for their pensions to pay out and many of them are very bitter and twisted especially after the company started to play around with the pensions, that said even before this happened there was definitely clear resentment from middle management towards newer staff and a clear lack of interest in pushing the company its products or data forwards. I found that the training was minimal, there was no interest from certain middle management in helping new hires from outside their personal fiefdom step up to the mark. I found an incredible amount of resentment from certain middle managers and for anyone that has worked at TR and may be looking of thinking of joining IDC my advice would be to think twice. I also found many, not all I must stress, of the longer standing employees to be the epitome of mediocrity. A culture of laziness, lack of willingness to take responsibility for their own tasks and a desire to offload as much as their work as possible exists in many places throughout the organisation. As a company I would not recommend working here.

Pros

Intelligent workforce. Lovely people. The business is doing well.

Cons

They have just reduced the pension for legacy members in the uk. No discussion, no concessions and all very underhand and cruelly done. And to those who have worked there for the longest time.

Pros

It is a good company to start you experience in financial data vendors: good environment and management, and good work/life balance

Cons

Unfortunately, it's a company where the progression, in terms of position, salary and bonus or benefit is very slow. Moreover, the job itself may become a little bit boring after a while
