      If you have any ambition in life look elsewhere.

      Pros

      The pay is ok and the coffee machines are nice.

      Cons

      If you are a 40 something who went to a cal-state school with no ambition in life and has never lived outside of Orange County, this place is a sweet deal. If however you have a brain and are ambitious this place will be mind numbing and soul draining. Lots of people have been here for 15-20 years...in the same position and on the same team. That should tell you something. If you went to a ranked school and are used to collaborative environments do not look here, you will be judged by your age and there is no people management or mentorship, your career will go nowhere and you will learn nothing new. I would never recommend this place to anyone I know.

      Buyer Beware

      Pros

      By far the best reasons to work at Capital Group are their benefits and long-term retirement plans. This company goes the extra-mile to ensure every "associate" has the best health care coverage possible. I think it's the gold-standard for how corporate America should carry benefits. Additionally, their retirement plan is top notch. They go above and beyond to provide annual contributions to a separately funded retirement plan. This is on top of a 401(k).

      Cons

      The downsides are numerous. This is a company and culture that is steeped in privacy and behind-the-door dealings. It's an organization that is rife with manipulation both from a data standpoint and from a personnel/development standpoint. It's an organization that rewards "ratting out" fellow associates and in doing such, creates an environment of extreme paranoia. Capital Group is a very pc-oriented environment and does not tolerate people who tend to think for themselves. It's your typical liberal establishment in that their "intentions" and how they are viewed by others supplants any truly meaningful/thoughtful actions. They are a very surface driven organization - nothing too deep here. It is an organization that is very "feedback" driven. If you have one screw up 5, 10 or 15 years ago, it haunts you for the rest of your time at Capital Group and essentially eliminates any opportunity for meaningful advancement.

      Pros

      The person(s) writing 5 star reviews are paid to do so. actual ratings are skewed. Beware.

      Cons

      Senior management's job is comprised of re organizing every few years in an attempt to fix what they clearly have no clue how to.
