Merit was almost a whooping 1%
Focal merit was low and did expect much. Don’t bother with even getting a match on donations as the make a bunch of excuses to not match. $10k match on donating is a joke and you are better off not giving
Cuts coming before the end of the year
Is it true more cuts are expected before the end of the year?
It's a no on return to the office for me
Now and in the future. Even when Delta is no longer an issue. If they want to force me, tough luck. I'd rather leave than commute for two hours again each day. I enjoy my newfound free time too much to give it up again. They can't complain about... — read more
So much for merit
You used to be able to count on being promoted if you knew what you were doing and you worked hard. Now the only thing that's required to get a promotion is to get into the good graces of somebody in the management. Basically, brown-nosing is now... — read more
The air is thick
There is already a thread below about layoffs but I wonder if there are any new rumors going around? The atmosphere is very tense and the motivation has never been worse, as far as I can tell.
UK Resourcing = Big FAIL
Last April / May ALL UK based project managers were made redundant (or Severance Agreement for an additional % as HR weren’t capable of managing wide scale redundancies throughout), along with many network resources being offshored to a state of the... — read more

Rats & the Ship
seems like people aren't buying it Rahul. most of my team has departed, the talented ones are long gone, and the ones that are left are actively looking - seems like the senior management could care less - e.g. you got your bonus, stock options... — read more

THE SS&C WAY - OVERPROMISE AND UNDERDELIVER

peace
there is a growing science in reducing work and cost students today are taught to remain democratic, critical, and forward thinking the definition of experience is as self-referential as the market is increasingly rapid from a google search on... — read more
Do they care about anything but the stock price?
This way of managing a company is, in my opinion, very short–sighted. They are literally blinded by worrying about the stock price only and don’t see the bigger picture at all. Just my two cents. I started sending applications to as many open... — read more
Are we sure layoffs are over?
How certain can we be that layoffs are done - at least for the time being? This has been stressful several days and I can't relax even though its weekend. I hate that my work is affecting me as much as it is, but there's very little I can do to... — read more
Very disappointed
After 15 years I’ve been laid off from the company and it’s not enough to say I’m just disappointed. I am more than disappointed. I had much better offers at the time, but back then they did everything to keep me. What a mistake, because I could have... — read more
What's the severance package?
Does anybody feel comfortable sharing detailed info on what the severance package looks like - including medical? I'm very interested in knowing if it's the same as usual or have they changed/reduced anything due to the pandemic. I wouldn't put it... — read more

Terrible news. I am very sorry for all those who lost their jobs. 500 people is huge. Lucky for me I left here 2 months ago and I am sending my support to all affected. Life is much nicer outside of this company. I wonder if they laid off the best of... — read more
Just curious did anyone here get a raise above 1% just courious
Just curious did anyone here get a raise above 1%. They want you to keep up your numbers and work hard but not much of a motive if all you get is a sh–ty raise every year.
How much longer is it possible to endure?
I have been overwhelmed with work for months, so much so that I have almost totally neglected my family and private life. Terrible. I thought it was a passing phase, however day by day I have more and more work to do so I can freely say I work all... — read more
Rumors about RIFs

Deception Technologies would be a more fitting name
This organization is a terrible place to work.
2020 Share Awards?
Anyone heard anything on this front? Last few years they've been awarded in December, guessing by the complete radio silence that's yet another 'benefit' to get eroded this year...
What’s the best thing?
In all seriousness can anyone tell me what they enjoy about the company? My wife was telling me what she loved about her job and the company she works for. I felt envious that she enjoys her work so much. I wish I could say the same. For the life of... — read more

Bunch of call center employees got fired 10/23/2020
If it's just you it's a firing but a bunch of people it's a layoff. SSNC too cheap to give us little people a layoff package but we are dispensable enough for them to make up reason to fire you and pay you nothing. How I missed the chopping block... — read more
Anyone got a raise this year?
Not sure how much the company is impacted by covid 19. I'm not being paid fairly, and my raise is a joke. What about you guys?
SSNC Completely canceled PTO/vacation and moved to FTO (flexible time off) time
So instead of giving you your normal PTO bucket, such as 4 weeks a year or whatever, you can request anytime you want depending on business need. So in my opinion they are screwing you out of your vacation for those of us with high tenure. ... — read more

With all the incoming talent over last 12 months, are we becoming a mini BNYM or mini JPM? I’ve worked at both and I’m curious of others views?
This next layoff coming in September will wind up Health Solutions
It would make more logical sense for SS&C to sell off Health Solutions rather than run us into the ground. There have been offers from other healthcare technology companies to acquire what is left of Health Solutions although Stone has turned the... — read more
