Invesco a good company with a TOXIC IT Dept
Pros
Outside of IT Invesco has: Nice people Clear business strategy Pleasant work environment Good benefits I highly recommend Invesco for non IT careers. My ratings are only on the IT group.
Cons
The IT dept is controlled by a group of (mostly Texas A&M) "Christians". When they aren't praying, using business trips to India as an excuse for missionary work or passing judgement on everyone else, they work to stifle all innovation and waste millions of dollars on obsolete architecture projects. This middle management mafia tells executive management that they have adopted Lean and Agile methods but it's a joke. Useless training classes and ridiculous Rapid Improvement Events are all that are offered. Any real attempts to execute Lean/Agile ideas are snuffed out and "agile teams" are not empowered to make decisions or realistically plan their work. The CI team seems to be a another scam that exists to show senior management they are "innovative". Anyone who attempts to introduce new ideas or push back on antiquated processes is labeled a trouble maker and ultimately these people leave in frustration. Women are second class citizens, a review of the org chart will show only a handful of women in management roles and absolutely zero women on the IT Leadership team.
