Pros

Pay is nice and the MRP retirement is good

Cons

Everything else. Mandatory overtime every single day of the week. Managers (all of them, Vice Presidents, senior managers, managers) are horrible, to say the least. Constant micro managing of the smp stats. You are just a number to them. If you don’t meet the stats, you will get a stern talking to. They’re hypocrites so don’t believe their fake “we don’t care about the numbers”

Pros

Good benefits and great campus

Cons

Capital group is swamped with contractors and controlled by consulting companies and part time workers (business, project management and developers) It can get pretty competitive up there and you will see group of people of the same consulting company meeting about the project you’re working on but you won’t be able to attend or know what they’re planning I used to have a lot of contractors in my team from Accenture and they were very competitive and did not welcome us in the group and it was very difficult to get anything done because they controlled most of the operation and the business process… It can get very competitive a little bit toxic and it was not a very warm place to work I honestly hate it up there, and never felt like we were welcomed.. imagine having to play politics and having to pull and take over or push and pull on daily basis.. it was a draining me quick

Pros

People are wonderful. The work is interesting and they value collaboration and there is plenty of support from peers. Benefits are great including paid time off. They encourage moving about in the company and there is good mentoring.

Cons

Company headquarters is in Los Angeles and biggest office is in Irvine, California which are two highly unaffordable areas as far as rents/buying are concerned. Living outside of these hubs means a nightmarish commute. A work from home option or greater remote flexibility would help many of us looking to move further away (even to another state) to be able to afford rent/owning and achieving professional goals while supporting our families and spending more time with our children (as opposed to hitting the road at 5 am and back at 7 pm).
