Vanguard Group

"There are a lot of good opportunities here, but good luck having a life. Too much celebration of the "overworked culture." Great direct leaders but old-fashioned senior leaders. Your voice is valued, but so is EVERYONE else's, so expert opinions count as much as clueless employees "

"Another firm will probably pay you more. Other employees will definitely treat you better."

"PROS: Vanguard's benefits (PTO, 401k match, health insurance, parental / medical leave) are hard to beat. It's an extremely kind culture and very rotational. CONS: Salary is on the lower side, which is why I would never start my career here. The rotational culture isn't always great because employees and leaders switch positions on such a frequent basis. Change fatigue is real. Like any other company, your experience at Vanguard really depends on the team you join. Most employees are in a hybrid model (Tues-Weds-Thurs in office) coming out of the pandemic, and the reaction has been mixed. Many employees want more flexibility and the ability to bring in talent outside of the Philadelphia, Scottsdale, Charlotte, and Dallas areas in the US. There are some fully remote roles, but leadership is doesn't seem inclined to increase the number anytime soon."

"If you have other options, I would strongly suggest you explore the other options. Vanguard is a bit of a Kool-aid place. You will hear a lot about a "strong culture". What I experienced was a strong culture of daily micro aggressions (and I strongly suspect I had it easier than some). Vanguard is stuck in the 80s."

"I love my children and so I dont want to be judged for choosing to spend time with them, now I am getting back into the job world and I am not ashamed of my choices."
