Pros

Good salary and benefits. Good work/life balance.

Cons

As other reviewers have said: "Stepford-like." Everyone is an automaton, even zombie-like. If you have a different opinion than someone in authority, you will be viewed as disagreeable. Everyone is superficially nice, but people don't accept different opinions. The company is really hidebound. Also, depending on your position, you could be chained to your desk. You're not treated like an adult. There are impenetrable layers of authority and bureaucracy. Nothing gets done. Ever. It's frustrating. Everyone is a project manager, so projects never get completed. You spend half your life in pointless meetings so people can hear themselves talk. If you're in asset management, and you actually manage money for the firm, I imagine it could be a great gig. If you do any of the ancillary tasks associated with asset management, it's a disaster.

Pros

Great pain, The 15% automatic contribution beats any place.

Cons

As with large companies decisions are made slowly and current leadership is looking for quick results rather than long-term solutions.
