Pros

- Good benefits especially the MRP, but you have to drink the Capital Kool-Aid for 6 years to become fully vested - Good reputation in investment management industry, although most outside of industry have never heard of it - Very smart people in most departments

Cons

- No real "management vision" until it was too late. The departments had complete autonomy and when the money stopped rolling in, then they realized they had big problems. - Too caught up in the "Capital way" of doing things (i.e., employees working in other sectors can't possibly advance to work in portfolio management, despite their accumen, because that's "not the way we do things anymore." - Little room for professional growth - Again, no real leadership. Any "president" or "ceo" is just that in title only. Most things done by a committee of investment professionals with no real management experience. - Low morale
