Capital IQ Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Capital IQ full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Company has a ton of assets. They just need to put them together, and get organized to take things to the next level.

Cons – The game of fluffing the story up to make it sound better than it is goes up the chain so there is no focus on real problems. Too much spin. There also seems to be an affinity for hiring people that are under-achieving ivy league kids. Top of the pack get real jobs, and this company is clearly meant to succeed in a blue collar financial services way.

Advice to Senior Management – Clean house if someone is doing a poor job. Entitlement, and seniority should be cut off at inception.

Former Employee – worked at Capital IQ full-time for more than a year

Pros – No dress code. Not a serious job (take that as you will). Good people.

Cons – The company is terrible. The leadership isn't there, the site is always broken, customers are leaving. They need to get back to basics- realizing that they are a software company. Too much emphasis on sales. You can't have 40% turnover in technology in under nine months and expect to be the same company. Too many old men making decisions.

Advice to Senior Management – Be upfront about the job people are applying for. I was an overachiever and even offered a promotion within the company which my boss blocked. It is a mess, don't work there.
