Difficult times

Pros

Lots of smart and capable employees. Some middle managers are strong. CEO is trying to energize product line. Very good cafeteria. Benefits are decent.

Cons

Compensation has been slashed or just going nowhere. Morale is pretty low-everyone is getting tired of trying to do the impossible for less money for a couple of years now. Performance is just not there in terms of keeping institutional clients or bringing in more. Leadership just does not communicate that much.

Lots of turmoil, but a good firm

Pros

Some of the smartest people in the industry. A firm with a proud history. Good benefits. Depending on your job, can be interesting and challenging work.

Cons

Recent turmoil (new management, constant shake-ups) is very unsettling. Investment performance is terrible. Firm could be a takeover candidate if performance doesn't improve.

Pros

Competitive benefits package Flexible work scheduling, time off policies Smart, hardworking, talented people Educational opportunities, continuing in service training programs Nice pantry services

Cons

Management infatuation with style over substance Talent untapped/overlooked due to overly political operation of managment Slow/inadequate infrastructure investment Review process good in theory, bad in practice Lack of respect for and consideration of support level staff "Siloing" of business units prevents crossfunctional synergy and encourages fiefdom mentality
