Pros

Good work life balance. Good people in the company. Lots of different career paths if you aren't sure what direction you want to take your career.

Cons

It is almost like a colt environment. People are brainwashed into thinking that is the only place to work. If you are good you can be better utilized (and better compensated) at another company.

Pros

People are friendly throughout, and nearly all are willing to help. Management is interested in making sure you follow your desired career path. Vanguard University appears to have great offerings, but not available to interns.

Cons

Training programs not very open to interns, so it was difficult to gain a grasp for my job in just 10 weeks. HR tended to be full of itself, question dodging, and nonsense about Now, Discover Your Strengths, which hardly seems a viable path for self improvement. Gave me a spot on a new team with no viability plan of how someone unacquainted with the vanguard structure would help a project of adding to that structure.

Pros

Helpful crew members. Easy to move around within the company. Relaxed atmosphere. Possibilities for growth. Well respected and has never had a layoff

Cons

Might be too big for its own good. Not very transparent about any decisions.
