Pros

Wellington is a top tier place to work. They offer great career development and opportunity, they challenge you, they support you, they give you space to grow, and you work alongside incredible people.

Cons

Really not many. The firm is well run. Sometimes leadership and management teams can be better but that’s not unique to Wellington.

Pros

Working with some of the smartest people around, most of whom really want to do a good job as well as help out their colleagues. Despite a couple down years, compensation is still higher than peers for many roles. All cash model - no deferred. 401K contribution is outstanding.

Cons

Management is a dumpster fire the last 2 years. Incapable of coherent communication - e.g. highly anticipated firm-wide update that's something like 2 pages long and says virtually nothing new. CEO cannot speak in large group settings to save her life. About 5 people actually run the show now and anyone who challenges or raises concerns is marginalized. Added way too many positions in 2022 leading to only the 2nd RIF in the company's history in 2023 and almost certainly another one before the end of 2024. No one feels secure in their job anymore. They've got some good ideas on how to return the company to growth, but they seem to forget they need to communicate these things to their employees. Instead, they say nothing or talk in riddles and then can't understand why morale is low and no one buys into their vision for the future. Your next opportunity will be decided by a bunch of people in a room who don't know much about you. Opportunity to control your destiny is not what it used to be.
