Pros

Good work-life balance, fair pay for your job. OT is controlled and one can always have personal time after work.The job is stable and one can expect that there will not be challenging issues once they get used to the job. So it will be a good place for those who like a peace life.

Cons

Not much on personal career development, especially for who seek for professional career path. Payment is not high enough to attract and retain talent. This may partly due to the nature of job. Fund accountant may not require a high calibre person.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
