Sad Experience - Recensione dipendente - Associate Analyst presso New Constructs

- Best finance/economics crash course available in your first year (MBA level content) - Terrific work life balance - Great culture supported by social events (happy hours, sounds games, etc) that are sponsored by the company - As a small company, you will wear many hats which gives you work experience in all areas of the business

- Priorities can change quickly as new business opportunities arise, creating short term chaos (likely will improve over time as they establish new revenue streams)

- I have what you might call a “non-traditional” background in the equity research analyst world; An outdoor enthusiast from a Colorado ski town turned CFA candidate. When I applied, it seemed that NC fit me better than I fit them. But, this is not Wall Street. What became evident very early on is the company’s motive to put many different minds in the same room, give them the training they need to understand and interpret the work, and allow each member to prove themselves. For the most part, development moves as quickly as you do, and the company benefits from that. - Your interest in equity markets should be genuine. But, if it is coupled with an interest in technology, it may not need to be the only thing steering you to New Constructs. Analysts are given a toolbox I could have never expected coming in. I had no experience whatsoever with SQL and now it’s a part of each work day for me. Our data is the highest quality in the industry and it is powerful. I think working with software engineers to create and refine processes that provide a better user experience is a rare combination in this space; definitely in this region. - There is room for creativity within proven and emerging processes. The work is pretty cool.

- The goal of intra-office communication here is efficiency. And, that makes sense if you consider the amount of work being completed by the small number in each department (analytics, engineering). There is a tendency to communicate through machines, which is great for what we do, but very different from other working environments I’ve been a part of.
