Pros

The culture is the best of all investment management / financial industry. I encountered people that had worked at Wellington for their entire career, those that had come from Morgan Stanley, Fidelity, or JP Morgan, and were incredibly pleased with their switch. When you surround yourself with brilliant, humble intellectuals, the environment is absolutely amazing.

Cons

Office locations are limited to Boston and Radnor, at least in the United States, but that's not really a downside. I would say that the one troubling factor about Wellington's growth is the potential for it to interfere with the strong culture, but it seems that they are taking precautions to maintain the standard.
