Pros

Nice buildings, Lunches, Snacks etc.

Cons

-cutting staff, increasing workload and OT, while making in person meetings that are hours long mandatory. Very strict about meetings that frankly most associates aren't concerned about as it only adds to the workload -company hasn't been receptive to people working full time at home; need to catch up with the times -very easy to get stuck in a role or a level for decades. Working hard, going above and beyond, endless OT, etc, isn't impressive enough for this company -performance based raises can potentially be nice for a select few , but since a given level has a salary cap and since it's extremely difficult to move up in the company, then performance raises only goes so far for so long.

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.
