Pros

Has a lot of great employees to work with, at least for now. Good health insurance options and benefits.

Cons

Remote work has begun to be forced out. The office in Waltham is at the center of a traffic black hole so it's a pain to get in and out of. Pay has never been the company's strongest trait so you can't afford to live close to the office. With the removal of remote work you will likely lose 11+ hours a day between the 9 hour workday(no paid lunch) and traffic filled commutes Senior management's decision to spin of advisor 360 has crushed this company. A360 fails at every task they are given and this failure has gone on for several years without any accountability. You are expected to continue to give advisors incorrect reports because the 3rd party company they created can't be bothered to fix their own mistakes. Senior management will make announcements of something new before anything is even put together. The regular employees are then forced to scramble to accommodate these after the fact. The new trillion dollar goal messaging has rubbed everyone the wrong way, employees and advisors. It's a perfect representation of senior management being out of touch.
