Pros

Very nice, smart people. Solid benefits including tuition reimbursement. Lots of community service opportunities. Challenging work environment.

Cons

Company strategy is sometimes unclear. Cost-cutting has resulted in heavier workloads spread across fewer people. Disconnect between the Investments office and HQ.

Pros

Mostly nice co-workers. Easy commute. Easy work if you do not want to think.

Cons

Poorly run company with outdated and irrelevant process. Mid-level managers are not subject matter experts with poor training in managing people and projects. Very narrow minded organization who fears new ideas and improvements and who is intimidated by smart people who look to bring in ideas normal to best practices in other successful companies. Management seems to enjoy chaos, office politics and back stabbing. Definitely not a fit for those who want to work for a cutting edge company. Bureaucratic multi-layered approval process for making simple decisions. Company and mid-level managers to not empower employees to make decisions. Heavy emphasis on reporting and more reporting, meetings to have meetings etc. Results of above are poor earnings, company in decline and high turnover. Either join the group think or you will be odd man out.

Pros

The benefits are decent and comparable to other companies, exposure to new technologies within the industry, pay is decent and comparable. A lot of company/team outings and lunches. Community involvement is expected.

Cons

Disorganized to the point of being a major hindrance in day to day activities. Management is constantly involved in meetings and provide absolutely no support. Meetings are scheduled to have additional meetings, this can be VERY frustrating! Lack of defined job roles.
