Pros

- Effort on infrastructure modernization - The NY office is nice - Smart, congenial colleagues - Good WLB Really has potential to be a great place to work if not for some of the glaring negatives.

Cons

- Repeated pattern of paying lip service to try to cover big blunders in decisions. There are currently a number of critical modernization initiative the company is attempting to undergo, and there is very little accountability and continued missed deadlines. When this happens, mgmt finds a scapegoat (or multiple) to blame, makes very little process efficiency improvements, and then continues down the same route. This goes on until a point of no return, at which point leaders will simply bail on the project altogether. - NYC mgmt is truly sub-par. They are rude, 'cliquey', and aggressive. They are not invested in growth of employees, do not recognize good work where it's being done, and have no interest in building a respectful office culture. So much playing politics and continuing to reward poor-performing 'yes-men' that it's nauseating. - The sales pitch of the office is that it has a startup vibe with the backing of a large financial firm. This could not be further from the truth. TRP is just like any other antiquated financial firm, and as such, focuses heavily on hiring cheap contracted labor instead of FTE's whom they cycle through consistently to show senior mgmt that they're making people changes when deadlines are blown through. - Horrible culture of intimidation. Numerous issues have been brought up to mgmt, and they were ignored (and then you're put on the 'naughty list').

Pros

Well run company, good benefits, market rate pay, catered lunch once a week, smart colleagues. Overall, could have been a nice place to work.

Cons

The NYC office was founded to launch Data Science related projects. If you are not on a Data Science project, your work is of no interest to anyone. The sales pitch of "this is a startup within a large and established company" is not true. NYC office culture is rigid and oppressive where feedback is penalized. Employee feedback is mandatory, but God forbid you say something you actually think, even if it is for the benefit of the company. The "wrong kind" of feedback is recorded in your personnel file (along with everything else) and will be used against you. If you are interested in joining a real startup, this isn't one. There is no room to grow. NYC office is small and is intended to stay that way. The parent company is in Maryland. If you want to be noticed and grow your career, NYC office is a dead end. NYC office is led by people who are not technical at all and know nothing about software development, but like to use big words and pontificate about software development methodology. NYC management comes from Bridgewater Associates. They manage up and are rude and horrible to their subordinates. They only care about promoting the NYC office visibility within T Rowe Price and putting on a show for the upper management. They do not understand the work being done and don't care about the people doing it. Stay away!
