Markit Group Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I think that market is a good place to work but there is a very repetitious feeling to the work."

"There are far too many proprietary and old code bases at work in this company. The dependency on WIT and the separating of the web engineering and the web development makes problems slow to be resolved or make it seem like you're always passing the buck."

"I started working for Markit through their DevU program in April of 2012, and when I had completed that, they hired me full time. At first, things were good and I was very excited. I soon learned that my manager was not the type to really give feedback unless it was negative or asked for. About a week before he fired me, after a meeting he told me he was going to start getting me more ownership of projects and increase the size of them over the next year. Then he fires me. Professional No."

The Dallas office is one of the larger offices but still manages to have a 'small office' feel."

It seems that as it is, bugs and issues that are identified are not addressed until a certain number of clients issue complaints, which to me seems very reactive. I think a pro-active approach, while at times may be more difficult, would prove to be extremely valuable long term."
