IHS Markit reviews

I am surprised at the myriad of negative reviews here of the Boulder office. The problems here seem to be ones that can easily plague a company that grew a bit too quickly but the management is committed to implementing positive long-term changes, addressing grievances, and keeping everything moving onward and upward. I have never worked for a company that was so open minded to the general process; here, it feels that the best idea truly is boss as long as you can sell your team leaders on the concept. In general everyone is encouraged to explore new concepts, manage their own time (like we're adults, wow!), make good decisions, yell for help and receive it if we need it, and encourage us to learn and grow both personally and as professions. As a new developer I find the work environment very helpful and encouraging. I can always count on my team members and managers to walk/talk me through something, give me advice, throw together an impromptu code review, and point me to resources and materials. I've never been made to feel like I am incapable or slow. I feel comfortable in telling someone that a concept is beyond me, or please explain this again, or what the heck does this mean, or I have no idea what I am doing here, or I am in over my head, can you get me someone who can help. Despite the fact we have constant deadlines and everyone is working hard, no one is so busy or stressed that they won't or can't take two minutes to help someone out. The cooperative culture here is just awesome, from what I have experienced. It gets noticed when someone goes above and beyond. I've seen capable developers ascend quickly based on competency, teamwork, and general merit; the salary increases reflect this as far as I am concerned, and when comparing this with similar-sized companies I have worked for in the past, Markit grants higher salary increases for good quality work than anywhere I've ever been. The monthly check-ins that Associates receive is helpful in this process as well; we get constant feedback on how we are doing, and there is genuine interest in if we are happy, if we feel supported, etc. Socially the company doesn't take much initiative but the people do. Folks at the office have gotten different types of groups started, from lunchtime disc golf to homebrewing. My team goes to lunch often and has started doing happy hours semi-regularly. The company also have an excellent for sale/wanted email system; I haven't had to deal with craigslist since I started here!
