Pros

Ok pay, good benefits, and easy to coast.

Cons

Lots of technical debt as a result of frequent re-orgs. A lot of modernization efforts are abandoned as a result. Though generally not opposed to change, many of the workers are very old-fashioned and hold entrenched ideas and habits that make implementing process changes very difficult. It's like herding cats... Often, workers haven't even heard of widely accepted new tech and look at scripting as unnecessary wizardry. I've written scripts to automate entire workloads only to have more veteran team members forget that it existed and waste dozens of hours completing it manually. At the same time a lot of people take on too much work out of a sense of duty and then complain that they are overworked. No possibility of beating inflation with annual raises without promotion.

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.
