Pros

Good pay, good benefits, good company stock grants and company stock performance. Work with a lot of driven people and provide a very valuable advisory service that helps a ton of people with their retirement needs. Strong morals, good ethics, and extremely focused on doing what is best for the client.

Cons

Virtually no work-life balance - the company offers free drinks, snacks, and foods which is great, but you don't actually have time to eat or drink any of them. Not a place to work if you have a family and want to see them - lots of mandatory overtime and working on weekends. Managers are expected to manage a team of people, manage the business, and manage multiple projects. Very low employee morale and employee engagement - employee turnover is high as a result.

Pros

Nice people, improving tech stack, decent pay, more realistic calculation of bonuses vs last year

Cons

While "sinking ship" might be too strong, the company's growth has definitely slowed and morale is terrible. After six months of concerted efforts to improve "employee engagement", that score has actually fallen as measured by the HR survey. The worst score for the past few years revolves around senior management. No one really believes they have a plan. They seem to just bumble along relying on luck rather than strategy. Meanwhile they cut our bonuses in half and give themselves raises. The disconnect between rank and file employees and senior management is profound. No one above Director level seems to understand how bad it is. The company is hiring, but I don't know many people who would recommend coming here. I'm actively looking for a new role myself, so how could I ask a friend to come over?
