Pros

Long history with a great brand but that is quickly changing. Family controlled. Strong balance sheet. They are a public company

Cons

Doesn't have products to effectively compete in the market place. New efforts in smart beta are a joke. Leadership is rudderless and told employees, "Just to be clear, I have no vision". Sr mgt is old boys club and does what they want. Wouldn't want my worst enemy working here

Pros

Good benefits (401K match, employee stock options, etc.), depending on the department you work in you could have some decent flexibility regarding work from home,

Cons

Incredibly disorganized from the very top of the organization which only gets worse as SVPs and EVPs don't retire and just clog the hierarchy. Everyone is involved in the decision making process which means that no decisions end up getting made, or they are made too late and then the executives sacrifice a lower level manager for not acting quick enough. Certain corporate departments that aren't directly involved in client facing environments get treated incredibly poorly by the client facing departments. Raises are nonexistent (not even 3%).
