      A learning experience in a very conservative culture

      Pros

      Conservative culture which teaches you the fundamentals of the industry. Although you will not be working with the newest and riskiest financial products, you will build an extremely strong finance based foundation. Great work/life balance.

      Cons

      It is NOT a meritocracy culture. Networking and "who you know" goes much further than being rewarded for hard work. Additionally, it is tough to move up through the ranks, no matter performance, because of other employees with tenure. Salary is also lower because of the work life balance.

      Pros

      Great employee development programs. Tenure and experience is appreciated. Senior Management support and open to mentoring. #1 in work/life balance.

      Cons

      Some employees are complacent (taking advantage of work/life balance). Takes too long to implement solutions.

      Pros

      Northern Trust focuses on their clients by supporting their people and keeping the highest ethical standards. They also recognize the strategic benefit of having a diverse client and employee base.

      Cons

      Northern Trust has a culture of collegiality and this makes it difficult to get quick decisions and to expand quickly into new markets.
