Pros

Growing Company. Large Client base. Seem to want to be at the cutting edge of financial innovation. Rank and file employees are loyal and professional.

Cons

Very political and cliquish. Difficult to advance. Many systems are out dated. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Very little colabaration between departments.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work-life balance. Good benefits: medical, dental, full gym & health clinic on-site. Good middle management talent to work for.

Cons

Company is starting to apply pressures of going public on employees: low bandwidth within departments and cost-cutting is a priority. Strong movement away from hiring in San Diego and relocating jobs to Charlotte, NC office. Home office staff is growing, but is now too big for strong cross departmental transparency. Different business units feel like silos.
