Pros

Great teamwork environment. Senior leadership cares about clients and employees. Great work/life balance, very easy to work from a remote location or home when needed. Just launched a women in leadership program. Very diverse workforce.

Cons

Results often tied to the unpredictable swings in the stock market. Still, company has a long term vision and manages through these market recessions without cut-throat behaviors. Even with great teamwork, projects are very complex and require several groups to work closely together over extended periods of time. This can sometimes lead to a disconnect with other groups and their programs. It's not that people don not want to share, it's sometimes hard to know who to share with.
