Pros

Ok pay, good benefits, and easy to coast.

Cons

Lots of technical debt as a result of frequent re-orgs. A lot of modernization efforts are abandoned as a result. Though generally not opposed to change, many of the workers are very old-fashioned and hold entrenched ideas and habits that make implementing process changes very difficult. It's like herding cats... Often, workers haven't even heard of widely accepted new tech and look at scripting as unnecessary wizardry. I've written scripts to automate entire workloads only to have more veteran team members forget that it existed and waste dozens of hours completing it manually. At the same time a lot of people take on too much work out of a sense of duty and then complain that they are overworked. No possibility of beating inflation with annual raises without promotion.

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.
