Capital Group reviews

Very stepford-like. Check your personality at the door when you accept the job offer. No room for growth unless you work in IRV or LAO. Takes way too long to make and implement decisions. Don't think too out of the box or disagree with key people or you will be labeled disagreeable and hard to work with.

It is very old school, and management/culture has not been effectual in improving career development of employees at all. There is a stigma associated with entering the firm at a junior level, and how you progress tends to be determined by which program you came in, not by aptitude. Internal candidates that have been earmarked for promotion tend to wait around for years while the firm goes out on a limb for outsiders. They have enacted some superficial steps for improvement, but an ingrained culture that is against promoting from within is hard to change. This is relevant only to the investment group. The firm is generally more helpful in career development if you are in any other departments.
