      A lot of friction at first, but ended up with a good career

      Pros

      Nice, friendly, helpful people - "help" is a core aspect of the culture and is taken seriously Good PTO and benefits Laid back office culture I got lucky and was able to get a promotion after a year which put my higher education (Masters) to good use.

      Cons

      Below market comp (at least in Technology) - it definitely feels like we are not staying competitive in the "talent arms race" Lots of meetings and then meetings to recap what was discussed in meetings. I understand broad communication is a tenet of Agile, but I go to work to get work done! It's hard to be a 5'xer here let alone a 10'xer if 25-50% of your time is spent in meetings. Single-minded focus on getting JUnit failures to 0% instead of seeing the bigger picture from a QA standpoint.

      A great company that will only get better

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company is comprixed of employees who share and believe strongly in the company vision that everyone deserves personalized retirement help, regardless of level, wealth, occupation, etc. The people at FE are smart, hardworking, and want to make a difference for participants. While the company is growing quickly, and we don't have all the answers, we are all trying hard to find them. We care and we want to make the company a success for our sponsors, partners, participants, and each other.

      Cons

      We're growing and changing and not everyone likes that or can operate in such an environment. There are bumps and frustrations but there are also high points and great work, camaraderie, innovations, flexiblity, self-satisfation, and more.

      Good Company Poor Management

      Pros

      Great workspace, free snacks and drinks and great work life balance with lots of perks.

      Cons

      Management isn't properly trained or skilled enough to lead team. They are not good leaders. Concerns and complaints from employees are ignored as a result issues continue to happen and the employees are left to pick up pieces. They have a habit of putting temporary band aids on problems and moving to the next big project.
