Former Employee – worked at Capital IQ

Pros – Tension-free atmosphere, less bureaucracy and decent benefits like subsidized food, complimentary dinner coupons, medical insurance etc. Ample scope to interact directly with US stakeholders and leadership.

Cons – Work will be monotonous as no external client for the Technology team - essentially it is a support team without any Cost-Profit setup. Entrenched old-timers with below average technical and management expertise will make the place quite difficult for innovative and bright minds.

Advice to Senior Management – Reading the cons section should illuminate what steps are needed to be taken to improve the situation. Instead of keeping it as a Cost Center, the Technology division should be revamped with PnL dimension that will eventually bring rational alignment of technology expenses vis-a-vis business outcomes. In the current set-up Sponsors (Data Set Directors) have no control over business priorities of Technology division.
