Pros

Capital Group has a great work life balance, very collaborative, good benefits. The retirement plan is fantastic, and the offices provide a great work environment.

Cons

Within IT the focus has shifted to appreciating new blood and subtly encouraging people to leave. There is no sense of trust within IT in regards to the senior leadership. The company should be more open to telecommuting, 4/40 weeks, etc.

Pros

Capital Group offers a great benefits package and places great value on work/life balance - they are progressive when it comes to employee satisfaction in these areas

Cons

While they offer the great benefits, there does not seem to be a lot of room for advancement, from the ground up, within the company.
