Pros

Tremendous benefits package, great work/life balance, and a product you can believe in

Cons

The lack of performance management tends to mean that the lack of quality of your peers can be frustrating. Too much focus on SJW garbage like "inclusion". Vanguard needs to stick to the product and focus on our clients.
