Pros

Values are followed at Vanguard especially Care Great leadership Managers truly care about their crew members Excellent career progression opportunities where you can completely switch careers providing you have the core skills to do the role as they are willing to train/ develop you Excellent total compensation package and benefits Growing in Europe which means new opportunities and natural role growth Great autonomy within your role Lots of mentorship and events related to core values Lots of great learning sessions about the business and different areas so you are constantly learning and optional to attend Prove leadership with great and useful training including inclusive hiring to ensure they find and nature the best talent

Cons

Work-life balance could be better - as you are always spread to thin on the ground there isn’t enough hours in the day to get core work done Performance management wise always wanting to do better and for crew to go above and beyond which is great but not when you are struggling to manage the BAU work Ideally a better flexi work option to be offered for crew who do not wish to travel to the office every week ideally would like to see a better option than what has been proposed

Pros

Great work/life balance, modern office with great amenities, friendly colleagues, loads of internal training/learning opportunities, senior staff/directors are accessible, open plan office, ability to buy additional holiday days, very clear company values and mission

Cons

It takes forever to make a decision, can feel like you're a small part of a big ship that's being navigated out of the U.S., slow to move on client requests, some IT systems are ancient, can feel a bit corporate at times (the formality didn't suit me at all, but some people prefer it)
