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.
