Pros

It's all about teamwork at this investment management firm, where IT workers are found in every facet of the business. Capital Group shuns top-down management . Managers like to spend time talking to the associates to try to figure out what they want to do and assess their skills and match them up the best I can with different business units. Great benefits, health, performance bonus, profitability bonus. Most Information Technology managers encourage their staff to take the perspective of the Business unit they support. They carry the message to be mindful of the financial implications of the implementation of Information Systems technology.

Cons

Obsessed with process at the expense of agility and innovation. I believe they are over correcting (too much reduction in force (Who am I kidding.....lay-offs) and will find themselves in a predicament when the up cycle starts.

Pros

Great benefits. Nice people to work with. The office and location are nice and convenient.

Cons

The company is very slow in making decision. There seems lack of accountability from the senior managment. And some of technology used are old and out-dated. If you have been with the company for a long time, better not get laid off, because it'll be harder to find a job as your skills are out-dated. Sometimes it is frustrating because no one want to make a call and the objectives never clear. The performance review process is heavily based on "perception", instead of results.

Pros

The benefits package is great. The company has a great retirement program and offers a great health and benefits program.

Cons

This company is all about feedback. Either positive or negative. Management tends to have favorites and if you are well liked you can advance. Unfortunately management turns away when they see associates they like doing things that are wrong for the company, such as taking long lunches and long breaks while the other associates do their pull.
