Capital IQ Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Capital IQ full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – relaxed atmosphere, nobody seems to work very hard
good people

Cons – the place lacks energy.
the takeover by S&P has been unsettling. 2 very different cultures, products and sales approach coming together will always be challenging, but the S&P management does not make the best judgement on what should be done.
After 9 months, people still did not get their comp plan
too much politics in the office

Advice to Senior Management – give people their comp plan sooner
work on improving your performance on each product line rather than try to run the business and integrate all the companies and products all at once.
