I loved working at Strategic Insight. It's a great blend of technology and mutual fund industry for those that want to speak both languages (finance and tech). Phil and Avi are both great individuals, and the rest of the senior management staff are really laid back and cool people. Compensation is tough to comment on - who do you compare to? I think they are fair for entry level - new graduates from undergrad. Upper management/senior level - tough to say. I certainly enjoyed working there for 2 years and learned alot.

The company is growing quickly however it still has that loose management type of feel. That is great for those who are entrepreneurial, but the lack of structure can be bad for those who are used to defined roles. For those ambitious types, there are plenty of opportunities to wear multiple hats and help out in other areas of the business.
