Business outlook
Pros
Capital group is a huge company with a long history. It's very structured with set procedures for everything. There's always someone to help. Lots of mutual support. People are great, very dedicated and supportive of each other. The company has great benefits and amenities and people work there for decades, which is extremely rare in a finance company. People love it.
Cons
Capital Group tends to promote from within so hard to work there otherwise. I felt that meetings can be excessive. Sometimes people would have 4-5 meetings in a day, I don't know how stuff was actually getting done. Because it is so structured there is not as much autonomy as there would be at a smaller firm. You have to really put yourself forward to be recognized.
