"As big corporations go, WSJ just doesn't quite know which way is up. I am skeptical of any improvements in the next year or two. Overall the environment is filled with red tape, egos, lack of leadership and no clear goals."

The Wall Street Journal Employee

"Wallstreet Systems has undergone a lot of changes since they were acquired by ION Trading. The environment has changed and unfortunately the sales cycle for WSS products has slowed a great deal. Many people have left and some are being laid off as they roll off of their projects. It is a great place to build your skill set as you are exposed to a lot of variables on the job."
