Pros

Good pay Awesome benefits Paid training Low expectations Coworkers care and everyone is happy to help you Coworkers are nice Frequent hackathons Location is pretty nice

Cons

People are fairly reluctant to change their ways, meaning people sometimes get strong-armed into implementing a kludgey solution to allow people to use old systems rather than have to upgrade to the latest and greatest, just because it's different. They have said they will never have a permanent option to work from home For better or for worse, have to pay for other fringe benefits - e.g., no free coffee, food, gym, even parking spaces close to the building you must pay for. Also, not many fun things about the environment - drab workspace with few windows, and nothing much fun to do at break time. Dress code doesn't allow for any color of Jeans, or for T-Shirts.

Pros

Hands down, the best employment culture of any company I’ve worked for in my 25+ years practicing law. Federated is a true rarity - a company that genuinely lives its corporate values every day, in decisions both large and small. Leadership listens to employees with curiosity and a willingness to improve, not defensiveness or indifference. There’s a common refrain that if a company takes care of its employees, those employees will, in turn, take care of customers. I’ve never seen that philosophy embraced or executed as successfully as it is at Federated. Success is recognized and rewarded, teamwork - or “interdependence,” as we call it - is the norm, and challenges or setbacks are treated as opportunities for constructive feedback and growth. And that’s before even mentioning the outstanding compensation and benefits. I recommend Federated wholeheartedly and without reservation to friends and family.

Cons

Business formal dress code for more senior positions may be a bit antiquated.
