Pros

I loved the people with whom I worked. They are a smart and talented group.

Cons

The culture is a bit straight-laced, especially when compared to newer companies run by Generation X or younger people.

Also, it's a mutual fund company first and foremost.

The company has a history of technical innovation, but they aren't a tech company. It seems like technical teams are hit hard when the markets contract.

Advice to Management

Modernize the culture. Even the business casual dress code is out of date!
