Pros

This is my favorite place I have ever worked. They truly put their employees first. Being a member of the HR team, I often find myself in conversations where we are discussing employees; and 99.9% of the time we have a question, leadership responds with "well, what is best for our employee?" I have been so proud of Capital Group's response to Covid-19 and their desire to truly become an anti-racist firm! This place is a breath of fresh air, compared to many of the other top name brand companies I have worked at. And as a Woman, I don't feel like I need to make a decision between my career and my family; here they truly co-exist and thrive. I am so grateful for Capital Group in so many ways.

Cons

That more people don't know how amazing this place is.

Pros

•Great retirement plan: Capital invests 15% of whatever your salary is, but of their own money into your own savings account. •Decent salary and bonuses. •Admittedly, Capital has a great Cafeteria with delicious food at an affordable price. •Capital has a beautiful, spacious, and green outdoor campus that surrounds all the buildings. •Great transportation reimbursement: Capital has rideshare options available as well as pays for the entire cost of a train pass for those that commute by train. •Great coworkers for the most part! •Engaging activities such as their annual hackathon!

Cons

•Miscommunication between the managers, project managers, and the employee. •Too many repetitive meetings. •Not enough opportunity to let employees work on other projects within their sector. •No set schedule for the week. Capital expects a good amount of employees to commute to both their LA office and the Irvine office during the week. •Lack of budget to hire the appropriate amount of employees for certain projects, causing major delays. •Very strict on internet rules. Employees have to take a profile picture from their mobile phone and email that picture from their personal email to their work email, and open that picture on their work laptop, and finally download the picture onto their work laptop and upload it as a profile picture. •Difficult for a majority of employees to move up a level even if they’ve worked at Capital for years.
