Robert Leary, former AIG Financial Products executive now tries to re-create same Financial Products group at ING.
Pros
Will sponsor for licenses and pay for CFA society dues. Pay is pretty decent. The culture in the Denver office was extremely way too layed back. They do give you a lot of flex time. Have a decent facility with a gym. They took care of all my annual dues for my professional licenses, 7, 63, 24, CFA; which can become pretty expensive. Used to also have very good holiday parties until this past year. Small group in Denver and it was a pretty close knit group of professionals that for the most part got along very well. Seemed to be very supportive of your family.
Cons
far to many meetings; every decision from strategy down to where to go to lunch is decided by having a meeting to discuss. Then you usually have a post meeting to discuss the effectiveness of the prevous meeting. Too much politics going on in the group. Found a few of the executives to not be very knowledgable and/or caring. They seemed to disappear for long perionds of time. As I said before, everything seemed to run off of meetings. Way too many meetings and they'd bring into the meetings that weren't even relevant. Not very honest and upfront when it came to bonus expectations and or salary reveiws.
