Pros

As a web developer at Markit on Demand you will build high volume sites for some of the biggest names in the financial markets. You will learn how to optimize server and client side code to so that your site doesn't go down when the Dow drops 1000 points in 10 minutes. You will be exposed to top notch graphic designers who collaborate one on one with the client and build compelling user interfaces that are challenging, and rewarding, for web developers to build. You will engage in heated discussions with your co-workers about all things web development. You will be exposed to modern trends in web development. And you will learn how to solve all sorts of tricky web problems. If you can stand the stress, tight deadlines, and changing priorities, you will become a top notch web developer working at Markit on Demand.

Cons

The job will be stressful. Deadlines will be tight. Requirements will change at the last minute. You will need to work late nights and weekends. Be prepared for that or don't work there. If you're OK with that, then in my opinion, the pros of will outweigh the cons; but you will still eventually get tired of the stress. And the pay will not be great at first. If you're OK with that, and you stick it out, they do pay you well for your hard work eventually.

Pros

A technology company so far behind that there is always interesting projects going on. In the past year executive leadership seems to have some focus and it does not feel like organization ADD. Benefits are very competitive.

Cons

A very consistent pattern of RIF's every few months. It is interesting that it is not always the lower performers, be very careful expressing an opinion for progress to middle management or you will very likely find yourself on the next RIF list. This is a management team that thinks they know it all. There are very few examples of leaders in this group, most are bosses, will make sure to tell you how to do the job. If you are coming in make sure to get a very good understanding of the expectation of role and responsibilities. If you are skilled you will be taken advantage of and asked to contribute at higher grade levels but performance and advancement is very subjective and there is no transparency in organizations like IT about what it takes to move to next levels. Unless of course you are playing that middle management stroking feathers game right..
