Pros

The benefits are awesome! Also, the work environment is very egalitarian & collaborative - you can schedule a meeting (for good reason) with anybody in the organization. There are always areas that need improving and job descriptions are not set in stone - you can almost pick your projects.

Cons

Decisions are hard to come by - the lack of organizational structure (a plus in many ways) makes the decision-making process lengthy & cumbersome. Also, there's often a lack of accountability. When a project fails it kind of whimpers off into obscurity and nobody really has to answer for it. There are some major changes taking place - the company culture is changing. Not sure if that is a negative or a postive thing. CG has grown so fast over the last 10 years that there are bound to be some growing pains...

Pros

the Capital Group the baseline salary is often just below the market, however the total compensation / benefits package more than makes up for it. The employees hired by The Capital Group are the most intelligent group of people I have ever worked with. It also seems that employees truly like one another. Negativity is frowned up and bullsh*tters are quickly shown the door.

Cons

Decision by committee is the norm in the Capital Group work environment. While the end result is a greater sense of buy in from those affected, it also results in reactive posture as opposed to being proactive.
