Pros

Good benefits package. Salaries not bad. Like any other place, there are some good people to work with (but not always).

Cons

Limited opps to develop your potential - Year on year the employee survey highlights the same complaints about not having access to career development opportunities No career paths and little to no visibility for career advancement or mobility - There is literally NO internal mobility function or recruitment function. You are 100% at the mercy of your HR Business Partner to know you, to know about the opportunities elsewhere. Unfortunately they are so overloaded that there is no time to do any of this. So they can't fill vacant slots and managers die of overload, and employees can't move and they die of disappointment and burnout. All the while, the only thing that MIGHT work is the internal network. But even then, no guarantees. It is the most political place I have ever been or seen. The hours are brutal, primarily because they are understaffed and again, can't find resources even if there is a role posted and approved. Incredibly political. Unlike anything I have ever seen. Be very, very careful with your back.

Pros

The firm thrived on the legacy of its founder, Barr Rosenberg, which attracted brilliant people. Its intellectual culture allowed for great personal/work life balance. There are many brilliant people with whom I look forward to work again.

Cons

The senior management from the parent company has systematically seized control of the company through nepotism and nationalism. There was much bitterness between the employees and the management. It seems as though the conflict has become explosive, and the parent company and the senior management took control of the firm at the expense of its clients. The majority of its asset under management, down 80% from its peak, is presumed to be primarily of the parent company. There is no future, period.
