Horrible place to work

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

The people in the trenches are the only positive thing about NYSE Governance Services. They are hard working, committed to the customer, willing to put in the extra time and go the extra mile.

Cons

People tapped to lead this organization are uninformed, out of touch and inept. They completely lack vision. Their communication skills are atrocious and their interpersonal skills are non-existent. They believe that speaking in tag lines and catchy phrases can take the place of substance, industry knowledge and strategic vision.

Good compensation, frustrating otherwise

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation is predictable and non-volatile. You're not subject to the whims of trading profit unlike banks and hedge funds. There is transparency in how they figure out compensation. The work environment is civilized, and you don't have the craziness and outsized personalities of trading firms. Technology is pretty good. They try to keep up with technology trends and try new things.

Cons

* There is tension between the NY and Atlanta offices with the center of gravity being Atlanta. This can be frustrating to NY employees because preference is given to ideas an developers there. No major projects started out of New York recently. * No work from home. Your manager might allow it, and HR might turn a blind eye. But officially, it is completely not allowed. * Stingy benefits. Less than customary amount of vacation. No personal days. They take your holidays and make 4 of them floating. Until very recently, rollover was not allowed at all. Maternity leave, for those who might need it, is less than standard.
