Pros

The company is true to its mission and intends to remain an independent financial advisor to help people at all income levels successfully plan for and navigate their financials. There are a true team of experts here researching daily how to provide the best advise. Intensive training for advisors and certifications to ensure customer satisfaction and retention. The culture is changing, led by a newly appointed CEO committed to growth and a positive career experience for the people. The offices are beautiful, spacious and filled with snacks. People are very friendly, competent, and proactive. I see a

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.
