Pros
This large, stable, American financial services company is an excellent place to develop a long term career within the so-called buy-side of the street. The company's focus on institutional investors provides opportunities to learn about complex investment strategies used by sophisticated investors, yet still allow a decent work-life balance away from work.
Cons
This company is very much Boston-based. Away from Massachusetts, opportunities for advancement are few and a branch office mentality is evident. The company does not do an effective job at retaining young talent, often giving them great assignments to develop themselves, only to see them walk away for more money in different departments or competitors.
