Pros

stable and conservative management has avoided many of the negative issues other financial firms have faced, ethical for financial industry, some great people work there, respected in industry, good benefits and pay, support for community/volunteerism, donation matching program

Cons

Conformity and obedience are top attributes, in my experience managers manage "up" to their managers vs. managing/supporting their teams, review process allows managers to write inaccurate review comments and you're basically powerless to respond or address it, typical to financial firms if you're in sales/client service / portfolio management, your life will be sweet -- but if you're one of the dozens of cogs in the machine supporting and enabling what those guys (and they are almost ALL men) are doing, your work will be less valued and supported by resources, visibility, etc., human resources as in so many cases has very limited power in the firm

Pros

Total compensation is competitive, new hires are eager to jump in, and it seems like a company strategy is finally coming together. Things continue to move slowly though because projects from the loudest voice or most tenured associates tend to get prioritized and throw off critical investments into fixing data, process, and tech debt issues to mature our ability to market like it’s 2026 instead of 2016.

Cons

Too many bottlenecks to execution; If you’re seeking to make a meaningful impact, don’t expect it fast. Expect to navigate uncertainty while the company claims to help clients do this for their portfolios instead of helping associates to help clients — This is branded fluff for leadership without clear direction, driving teams to waste too much time and energy in meetings and boring demo decks every month to make being busy look like value by being the loudest voice, which is what you’ll notice many of the most tenured associates do best. Slides might look pretty but AI doesn’t make sense of this noise and clients don’t benefit from all the hours spent in PowerPoint. Unclear ownership leads to internal redundancies or team friction, on top of the inconsistent documentation and fragmented data siloes that are ironically impeding readiness for AI mandates coming from the CEO.
