S&P Global

can be stressful sometimes when dealing with lots of transacionts

Restructuring has been continuing for years ..

Main cons is, the company is focusing mainly on GenZ

Extremely limited growth opportunities, mid-level leaders lack vision and skill, very stingy with raises and bonuses, refuse to staff client-facing teams with new U.S.-based hires.

Salary compensation however work life balance is good

The unlimited PTO is not for everyone at this company. It is based on department that you work in and if you were in operations, you would not get unlimited PTO. Your people Leader will tell you the amount that you can get a year. You will work numerous hours late nights without OT because you are salary. Days before month ends and also the first week of the month you cannot takeoff those blackout dates. You also have to work New Year's Eve and every quarter in you were working until 11 PM. So think of starting your workday at 8 AM and getting off at 11 PM. Management does not care about a work life balance for you at all is all about the numbers.

There are internal team polictics and personal biases

Pay is not great and pay growth is lower than average

below the market pay. low chance of promotion

- Management is awful - Managers hand out full time offers like free Halloween candy because they are desperate for employees - The only purpose for new hires is to really pump and dump out all the crap on their back end which has stressed out the managers - Company culture is terrible and you are not made to feel like you belong at all - Managers never take the time to get to actually know you and instead spend more time focusing on their own work than trying to connect with you as a person - The work they have you do is tedious and awful grunt work which does absolutely nothing to help you grow in your career at all or lead you down a path that you want to go - All employees working there live in fear and are fighting for survival more so than actually trying to learn, grow, and progress - The top level executives have absolutely no clue what is going on below them and what kind of decisions that lower management is making and are not even in charge really - Top level executives don’t even bother to try and really get to know any of the new hires - They have a significantly low employee retention rate with employees typically dipping out of the company in a span of 1.5 to 3 years, especially managers tasked with hiring people - You have to fake it and pretend like everything is ok and you enjoy it, even if you don’t just to avoid conflict with superiors - Not a very good place to grow or make connections considering a lot of the people you meet when you first start are typically gone in just 3-6 months - High level leads and managers are so stressed out about the work that they clock in overtime hours all the way till 10 or 11 in the night, sometimes even midnight - First day I met my boss, he was so buried in work and stressed out that his body was shaking and he had sweat dripping down his forehead - Only some managers bother to conduct one on ones with you as an employee, not all - You end up spending way more time eating lunch with and getting to know your fellow new hires than you do any of the managers you report to, sometimes, you don’t even end up meeting the top level executives unless circumstances cause it to happen - Very much individualized where everyone is in it for themselves, the money, or the S&P Global status and there’s no aspect of being part of a team or something that actually matters - They don’t bother to actually give you the opportunity to express yourself and allow you to stay true to who you are or go after what you want. Everyone’s putting up an image. Atleast between manager and entry level employees are concerned - After giving you a full time offer, they pressure you into taking it, even if you’re not ready yet, and they hand it out after one interview, which is insane, considering it is a corporate conglomerate - Easy to manipulate your managers and rising to the top is all about lying, cheating, and gaming the system to get ahead. Managers don’t even really care unless it directly impacts their lives. - You have to pivot and navigate the company to another team in order to get what you want or do the work you want to do - Even hardest working and best performing new hires don’t always enjoy it at the company and hate it just as much as everyone else - By the time you finish at S&P and decide to switch to a new company, you sometimes have to risk starting all over again from Square 1 - Work there will not always be about your background or what your passion is, in fact in most cases, it is not - You end up not really learning anything that helps you grow in your respective field and doesn’t really do much to help you grow your leadership or management ability, even if you do become a manager there - It’s a very miserable work environment in which only a few people you meet will genuinely care to have you around. Managers may be understanding, but you really don’t matter to them. - Managers will sometimes use propaganda to make you feel comfortable and think that onboarding is not that bad when in reality, they want to use you to clear off many of the responsibilities off their plates - Executives and lower level managers tell you completely different stories and are never on the same page when it comes to managing new hires and entry level employees
