      Pros

      Decent salary. Unlimited PTO. Ample work-life balance and work-from-home opportunities. A mission most people can get behind. Mostly nice people.

      Cons

      Only one lousy health insurance option, unless you're in Sunnyvale. No unified culture. Each office is its own little nation. Bad integration plan. Typical blue-skying executive committee that is all insincere optimism. New P/E owners have ridic expectations. Planners/advisors are not the cream of the crop. No strategic alliances with CPAs, trust attorneys, etc to be that fully holistic provider EFE claims to be. Cult of personality.

      Management makes stupid decisions

      Pros

      Great corporate culture - lots of fun activities for employees. Understands the concept of work/life balance. Benefits were pretty good, considering the company size. Funky offices with quiet spots to get away from your cube if you needed to.

      Cons

      Managers make stupid decisions that are more political than based on an employee's worth. Financial Engines merged with a cult of personality in Edelman Financial Engines (i.e., Ric Edelman).
