Thread regarding SS&C Technologies layoffs

Applying elsewhere, experience at SS&C is a red flag

Laid off 6 months ago and so far all I’ve heard through my applications and recruiters is that their experience with former SS&C employees have not been good.

Not my fault that 3/4 of the company are subpar offshore & H1B employees that fail to practice even the most basic software standards that anyone would learn from a freshman level undergraduate course.

Worse for me considering this has been my only experience since graduating. Worse for SS&C considering me with no other experience other than a bachelors degree has more knowledge than supposed “senior” engineers.

Fun fact, if you’re a senior engineer than maybe you should know your database issue that your team has been working on for 4 months is because you guys somehow decided to put whitespaces in the column names which we’ve been trying to tell you is a horrible practice

The first comment couldn't be more spot on. The phrase "soul-crushing" perfectly sums it up. Sunday nights filled with dread knowing that you're about to start another full on, 5 day week working at SS&C.

Stay away.

It's a coincidence I found this now because I only recently resigned from SS&C. I felt obliged to because of the extreme working conditions and the treatment I was receiving from my interim manager (which I initially took as micromanaging but looking back now, I believe much of this was targeted bullying). I could write a book to rival the Iliad about my soul-crushing experiences there but I would highly recommend everyone steer clear of this place.
