Industry Leader - Great Environment

Pros

FE offers good pay, above average benefits, company stock grants, and bonuses based on individual and company performance. Company environment helps employees stay motivated and driven to help clients retire well. FE has strong morals, good ethics, and management is extremely focused on doing what is best for the client.

Cons

Company goals, while admirable and on point, don't seem to translate well to many job functions. Communication to "front line" employees is sometimes obtuse.

Pros

Great mission and business model with huge potential Smart people who want to do the right thing New CEO is no-nonsense business man

Cons

Low pay for Sunnyvale environment -- employees who were there pre-IPO are millionaires and others are scraping by to afford Bay-Area housing, this is feeding low morale among new employees Inconvenient location unless you live in the South Bay Don't bother applying unless you are a Stanford or Ivy League grad (for upper management); or East Indian (for the tech team)
