Pros

- Good compensation package - Slow pace of work (this is also a Con) - Stability - Work/Life balance

Cons

- Very low tech skills (most employees have very low skills and knowledge) - Dysfunctional top-down model - Dysfunctional budgeting model in most departments - The US is the driving force and other regions have much less autonomy - Unorganized chaos - Promotions based on connections and personal relationships rather than merit (very difficult to get promoted or get a raise) - Feels like a bad version of public sector - Employees in key Directors/Exec levels in tech, do NOT understand tech at all - No one seems to want to work, they do the absolutely minimum

Pros

Vanguard is definitely one of the top companies to work for. They have great benefits for their employees and everyone is so kind. The job security is amazing and there are so many different departments to work for, the opportunities are limitless.

Cons

The pay can be low in consideration to other companies but the benefits make up for it. Also, if you start out in a phone role it can be pretty difficult to get off of the phones for a while.
