Ventajas
They are flexible with the work hours. There are many skilled and dedicated employees here, and like any other company, many that aren't. The company is privately held by a investor firm which has its benefits in that we aren't slaves to the people on Wall Street. The industry we work in is always changing which allows for exciting new opportunities to learn new products in the financial industry. The products that the different groups are developing are forward thinking and exciting opportunities for Fundtech.
Desventajas
While the hours are flexible, the work week is rarely a standard 40 hours like many other companies and usually includes weekends for many on the staff. Staffing is not where it should be and prevents many products and projects from getting completed in a reasonable and requested amount of time. We have also lost many excellent quality staff members due to the long hours and lack of pay increases (another problem with being privately held).
