Pros

They have decent trainging programs, faily easy to take part time classes (and they reimbruse 5k a year towards work related graduate courses), potential to learn a lot about the industry, pretty good internal mobility, and good benefits.

Cons

It really depends on the group you are in. Some groups work fairly late hours because they have to price funds. Also, there are many processes to service the funds which are automated. This can be good for work productivity, but not really for learning about the mechanics of the funds you are servicing. It can become a "button pushing" job. Many of the processes for servicing mutual funds, especially on bigger clients, are seperated which further limits learning opoortunities.

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.
