Pros

They pay very well. Many people do not have enough to do. Benefit policies are good. It is a company that makes money.

Cons

Too many meetings. Too many generals. Prefer to throw people at a need rather than technology which leads to too many opinions and analysis paralysis.

Business Outlook

Pros

Plenty of vacation days. Ability to network with clients and issuers (read: potential employers). Interesting co-workers.

Cons

Poor long-term career prospects. Uncompetitive base salaries. Disappointing bonuses. Limited learning opportunities (at least on the corporate governance side). Toxic atmosphere. Promotions/bonuses motivated by reasons other than performance. Talent or hard work are not appreciated. Low morale - most ISS employees are looking for a new job these days. Uncertain future.
