Pros

Great brand name. Recognized leader for investment capabilities, market intelligence and insight. Networking within the firm is encouraged, and there are opportunities for mobility if one works hard. Asset Management has a strong culture of doing the right thing for clients.

Cons

Very bureaucratic. Takes forever to make decisions. Have ambitious goals but seem unwilling to invest in the people or the necessary resources. Departments work in silos, with lack of collaboration and cohesion among senior leaders. Compensation, after you get in the door, does not stay competitive. Raises average in the 1-2% range for most people, unless you are ranked in the absolute top 5% of employees.

Pros

- Opportunities to move up and around the organisation - Salary and employee Flex benefits scheme - Looks good on CV

Cons

- Overtime is unpaid, yet expected - Distant, unwilling and aloof management - Highly political environment - Favouritism/sexism - Manager would let male members of the team away with anything. Management would also favour those who had been employed for a long period of time, even if they under-performed. Also, unfair distribution of workload between team members. - Lack of transparency and communication in general - Extreme dog-eat-dog culture due to performance review 'bell curve' system - Lack of support (and sometimes complete disdain) for those under stress as a result of their job
