Pros

Typically stable company, but as all companies in the financial industry are being beaten up these days, Northern is doing very well. Still offers a pension plan and 401k matching.

Cons

Not as friendly to employees as years past. Northern is getting too big to "care about individual employees"

Pros

Interesting work helping clients grow their business. Promoted several times (it took a while). Most roles worked with many areas at the firm so it provided a holistic view of the organization, which was great.

Cons

Some managers created a difficult work environments. Those partners are no longer at the firm...but neither am I along with some talented people who left or were part of one of the a RIFs.
