Pros

Great FTO program, flexible work schedule, generally dedicated co-workers, interesting work, genuinely cares about employees

Cons

Its an old, big finance company. Things are slow to change, lots of senior people riding their way to retirement that cant be bothered to drive meaningful change. Pay below market.

Pros

Principal offers unlimited time off

Cons

Company does not promote from within. If you want to move up in the company (or even move laterally to another department), don’t expect anything more than standardized emails saying you didn’t get the job.
