Quantitative Risk Management reviews

It's a pretty flat organization, but I was still very isolated from senior management. You receive pretty much 0 information about how well the company is performing. Draconian Internet access policy. Raises and bonuses are still around, but they are not nearly as impressive as a few years ago. Requirement to fill out time cards that add up for 45 hours a week (a bit weird for a non-billable salaried position). Lots of talent has left and QRM is slow to replace, if they replace at all. Relies almost exclusively on recruiters for new talent, which greatly limits the talent pool. The review process never puts you in contact with the people who actually decide your raise/bonus. On the technical side, QRM also has some technical managers who aren't keeping up with industry best practices. Many make decisions to get things done quickly, instead of getting things done correctly. Some of the developers are also pretty mediocre. QRM feels like a company on it's way down, and senior management seems to have no desire and/or ability to change anything to stem the bleeding.

Like another review stated, the organization is flat -- there is a smaller chance of advancement here than at fast-growing companies. The product features are not exactly cutting edge, mostly because their customers have been around for decades in a highly regulated industry and thus don't like changes. You may not be working on the latest and greatest technology. The management requires employees to work 45 hours per week, which is very draining for those who have hour-long commutes into Chicago.
