Pros

- The benefits package is awesome. I started out of college with 15 days PTO and now it is up to 22 days. 401K match is dollar for dollar up to 4% and then they do an additional 10% on top. Great health care coverage too

Cons

-Salary is low, the Partnership/bonus structure was changed for the worse a few years ago -Career development is not that great....management seems to have favorites or something

Pros

At Vanguard work-life balance is a big part of the culture. People almost never work weekends and the place clears up by around 7pm. The headquarters (in valley forge, PA) is very rural and peaceful and not at all what you'd expect from such a large asset manager.

Cons

Vanguard relies primarily on outside talent when it come to the most technical and interesting positions. PMs for actively managed fund, for example, are usually outsourced and much of the internal strategy relies on outside consultants.
