Pros

Reasonable benefits and vacation, but that's not uncommon amongst most employers. Culture is good overall; however, egos are promenant in investment related areas.

Cons

This is not a company to work for long term and particularly if you want to climb the "corporate latter" to make a decent living. Politics are increasing evident as you move up in the ranks, and salaries are far from standard if you take that path. Get the experience and move on after 3 or 4 years. Otherwise, expect big promotions if you play your cards right....with little compensation to justify the role. Turn a position down, and you'll likely end up in Siberia. Company over-elaborates the fact that they provide benefits. Sure you get healthcare, etc... but all companies offer those perks. For the extra few days of vacation and additional retirement benefits (based on a percentage of your already pathetic salary) it's definitely not worth the sacrafice.

Pros

Working with highly talented group of people. The company's name has a lot of weight and looks good on your resume. It's a very diverse company.

Cons

Contractor beware. I was brought on as a contract-to-hire. Three months in T. Rowe announced they were freezing hiring, but they extended my contract regardless. A year later they announced they weren't extending contractors except in extraordinary circumstances. When I started I was the the third contractor on my team and when I left my team had no contractors left. So whatever they promise you to get in the door, take with a grain of salt. Also be forewarned: contractors will be furloughed over the Winter holidays, that's three weeks of pay you'll lose. I've contracted elsewhere in my career and T Rowe stands out for how contractors are second class employees. Besides furloughs you won't be able to attend many meetings or get training. Meanwhile you'll have to adhere to the same strict scrutiny as a regular employee: the company will monitor your stock transactions and prevent you from participating in all sorts of outside activities.
