Pros

Health Insurance through Aetna has very good coverage. The cost to employees are low. Unlimited PTO adds to the benefits. Salary and bonuses are adjusted to match the cost of living. Growth opportunities in Investments, Portfolio Oversight, Development, Legal, Compliance.

Cons

People here work for paycheck. There is no sense of purpose and that reflects in people's face at all levels and in all departments. It's hard to be inspired in the existing environment and nothing is done to motivate employees. The proof lies in the annual attrition rate which hovers between 25% and 35%. Lack of growth opportunities in back office departments. Employees in these departments are treated as second class employees, The leadership and their judgments in these departments are also questionable, No one knows what value these head of departments bring. There is no effort in employee retention. Many deserving employees are not promoted unless they give in their papers. There are examples of employees given promotion every time they resigned which provides some fun conversation in otherwise mundane environment. While many not so deserving move up the ladder which you can easily tell by talking to them. There is one common denominator- when you leave the company, you will have a smiling face. Employees who never smiled during their time in CIM were seen smiling on their last day in CIM.

Pros

Nice office environment, good amenities, supportive colleagues and solid benefits as well as opportunities to take on meaningful work and develop skills.

Cons

Management effectiveness is inconsistent and can create uneven workloads across teams. High performers often compensate for gaps in leadership capability and employees with strong technical knowledge tend to carry a heavier burden, leading to work/life balance challenges. There appears to be limited accountability in some areas and tenure can outweigh performance in retention decisions impacting team morale.
