Pros

Former Fidessa employee. Prior to its purchase by Ion, the company was a great place to work. Salary was average, but benefits were good, culture was good and the people you worked with were great. Fidessa had a lot of respect for its employees and its clients.

Cons

After the acquisition, the company has gone downhill. Tons of people with 5 to 10+ years of exp, left and were not replaced. Employees left behind are overworked and unappreciated. Expect a ton of weekend work and poor work/life balance. Hiring process is ridiculous. It takes upwards of 6+ months to hire anyone because it sits on owners desk for months before it gets approved or rejected.

Pros

I get to work from home and have a grand-fathered in unlimited PTO policy. And that's about it.

Cons

RUN. This is just a horrible company to work for. Either you are living in constant fear of being fired or you are so overworked you feel like you have to work 60 hours a week just to do the bare minimum. The CEO, Andrea, is just gutting everything, doing mass layoffs over and over again. He has no clear visit for the company, goal posts keep changing, and everyone is setup to fail.
