Managing for the 21st century.

Pros

People I worked with were great. Made some great friends that I am still in touch with. Some of my managers were fabulous.

Cons

Poorly managed. Too much time spent on re-structuring departments and not spent on bringing in new customers. In addition, while I was there, I had 11 different managers within six years. Management is looking for a "miracle fix" instead of concentrating on bringing in customers. Hiring too many consultants is worrisome, because it may be sign of something much deeper.

Pros

Excellent benefits, Sincere about diversity, Numerous women and minorities in decision making positions. Recruiting talented people from outside of the company

Cons

Too many old-timers fixed in their way. Remote management does not have its finger on the pulse of remote employees. Salaries are not on par with industry. Life-work balence moving towards a more Merrill Lynch mentality
