Pros
Great sitcom material. Titles, anybody?
Cons
Most of the reviews below focus on Peter Sidoti, the CEO, and the working environment. However, if you are joining the company as an analyst you will be reporting to the company’s President, not Peter, so I thought it would be appropriate to say a few words on working with her. First, do not expect much in terms of training. Most of the guidance you will receive from her as a supervisory analyst will be “linguistic” such as making sure that you put double spacing between the sentences, do not use the word “believe” (offensive to God?) and do use the word “rich” (appealing to Wall Street?). On the positive side, you can get away with horrendous modeling, logical or valuation blunders. As a boss, she is a pedantic, bitter, and insecure control freak, who can not accept her failures and has made a career out of blaming her subordinates for sabotaging the company and her selfless efforts to create a successful research product. She likes to keep people under her thumb and fearful, presumably because she does not want you to question her authority, competence and methods or to figure out that the only reason she is in a managerial position is because of her personal friendship with Peter. Lamentably, she does that by constantly bombarding her employees with professionally inappropriate, derogatory remarks. That seems to be the only way she knows how to motivate “lazy and stupid” people (i.e. you, potential or current Sidoti employee) to produce.
