Pros

- Good pay for the area, - Decent work-life balance (if you're on a good team)

Cons

- Technology teams take a backseat to finance. Not worth working here if you are a good technologist, your career will suffer. - Senior managers that are extremely toxic and play favorites. Was asked "How old are you? Do you have kids? When I was your age, I would have killed to be making that much! What do you need a raise for!?" When asking for a raise after making huge contributions to the company the year before. - Managers play favorites; I have seen extremely proficient engineers get passed over for raises and promotions because of politics -HEAVY on office politics. - Had one manager that was good, and then one manager who claimed: "I expect you to be here before me and leave after me". It's hit and miss if you end up on a good team, and you are not allowed to switch teams for one year and manager approval is required -- if your manager doesn't like you, he can block your transfer.

Pros

PTO, ability to get licenses with FINRA, meet some genuine people, these are the only pros I promise because once you see how horrible the place is you will be using the PTO like crazy

Cons

Overtime overtime overtime, the people running this department don't use logic or common sense. They let go half the department who can't obtain a series 6, and 63 license but don't replace them. Meanwhile calls are increased and mandatory overtime is getting scheduled. Working ten hour days with 30 minute lunches and getting watched like a hawk if you log off the phone. This is pure call center hell I wouldn't recommend anyone coming to work for this department it was the worst time of my life here. Everyone is throwing everyone under the bus in order to move ahead, whatever you do, do not apply for financial services group or any phone group. You will be stuck in the position after your year is up

Pros

401k benefits are industry leading - regular monthly company contributions and a second lump sum at the end of the year based on company performance. In general people are friendly - work environment is professional.

Cons

Unfortunately there are more cons than pros - it feels like you step back in time when you enter the Baltimore or Owings Mills campus. Technology is dated, internal processes are years behind other companies. The sad part is there is there is a lack of self-awareness in the TRP and HR leadership teams to realize just how far behind they are. The HR team itself is a prime example - all homegrown within TRP with minimal experience in HR at other companies - fearful of outsiders who bring fresh ideas to help them modernize who could push them outside of their comfort zone. There is also a well-known sub-culture at TRP that is called T. Rowe Nice. On the surface it feels friendly and cordial, however beware - feedback at TRP is never direct and it is often times shared with others differently before you hear the message.
