Pros

- Irvine has a great cafe and the people that work in the cafe and general office services staff are really nice. - The people here are generally quite professional -Decent work space and overall campus not too noisy - Good work/life balance (i.e. for the most part even in IT you will usually average a typical 8-10 hr work day). -Some cool campus events

Cons

-A very slow moving company all the way around from decision making to technology used. Some of things CG is just looking into the industry has been doing for years. -Out of touch leadership: There is too much in fighting in CG regarding ownership of work, who's job is what, how long someones worked at CG, etc. This place is highly political and sadly it does get in the way of the work . - A non transparent culture: I felt like there was an unnecessary ambiguity to what work needed to be done and when, performance, and cross team visibility. -Growth opportunity: In general very slow upward mobility as well as financial improvement -Culturally biased- it seemed that those who belong to underrepresented groups at CG truly were/are underrepresented also when it came to getting opportunities, promotions, having a voice, and general inclusion.

Pros

I have been a data scientist for over 15 years at multiple major financial services firms, Capital Group by far has the best work culture. Very collaborative culture, leadership has a great road map to grow the data science team and provides a lot of flexibility regarding tools/technology we can use. Kind of a start up culture within data science team with backing of a reputed firm!

Cons

No cons based on my experience (3yrs)

Pros

Used to be the people, the environment, and core values. Great "diversity and inclusion" and programs to give back to the community.

Cons

Directors are the weakest link in the organization, specifically in the shareholder services department. Directors are incapable of fairly assessing performance or building high performing teams. This fact is supported by the recent low engagement scores and comments. Performance is NOT consistently assessed or managed fairly within a site, let alone across sites. Layoffs Lack of trust
