Pros

A common draw for many employees and something that everyone can rally behind is the company's mission of helping anyone with their retirement planning.

Cons

An extremely challenging place to get things done, because projects have to be approved by too many people. The company is notorious for starting some initiative and not following through with it completely.

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
