Pros

Clean workplace Good location (Scottsdale) VU university is good for the most part (classes) Food (Galley) is OK for company food Bathrooms are clean (usually).

Cons

-Terribly mismanaged company after the old CEO left. -Diversity of sex, ethnicity take precedence over diligence in hiring decisions in all departments. -Highly attractive girls (not woman) get catered to in most departments by the male supervisors/managers that never had a date in college (empty-less suits as one Flagship client said). -No upward mobility unless you have a second face and drink kool-aid every meal and brainwash yourself. -Strong democratic/liberal political presence in all department management. -Goodluck paying your cost of living and having anything left over. -Maybe you can retire by the time your 90 even with Vanguards own calculations. -Anonymous surveys about employee satisfaction on a monitored PC is crazy.

Pros

Opportunity for entry level employees to fast track their stay through the TLP program. Good 401k plan and other benefits. Ethical, everyone seems to have good values. Beautiful campus (PA location at least)

Cons

Poor hiring method for entry level IT employees. Left-Brained extroverts are favored for the TLP program, which creates horrible, loud, incompetent management. The specialized program is a dead end route, you're at a major disadvantage to the TLP's in terms of moving up the ranks in terms of transitioning to management roles, and theres no way to move up in terms of software roles. Not much anyway. Multiple co-workers mentioned that they've been in the same role for years, some since they entered the company.
