Houston, TX

Former Employee – worked at Invesco full-time for more than 10 years

ProsLarge diversified firm so they won't mess up too much. Overseas assets making up for the poor investment results in the US.

ConsThey really aren't interested in improving investment performance. All the emphaisis is on the ETF business and they are starving the mutual funds. They force out people in the 50's.

Advice to Senior ManagementHave you thought about why your best younger salespeople and money managers don't stick around? Maybe because Invesco makes a habit of firing people as soon as the hit the age of 50 or 55.
Isn't it amazing that no one gets hired above the age of 50?

Houston, TX

Former Employee – worked at Invesco full-time for more than 3 years

ProsGood place to start a career, the management does not have a plan or stucture on what need to be done.

ConsManagement does not care, they change employee job titles even without telling the employees. This is especially the Digital Marketing Departing.

Advice to Senior ManagementManagement need to Involve employees in their decision. They need to care for it's employees and promote from inside the company. Regular updates from management on what is happening will greatly be appreciated by the company employees who are one of the major assests that the company owns.

Houston, TX

Former Employee – worked at Invesco full-time for more than 10 years

ProsSalary was above market rate, and our small group was excellent. Many friendships made.

ConsCompany worked its employees to the bone, with little to no recognition. After the AIM/Invesco merger, the Invesco IT management was incredibly poor. No respect to their employees, which in turn caused everyone to work with blinders on.

Advice to Senior ManagementStop managing to the bottom line. Let the employees do their thing! You had a great group of extremely talented people, however now most have left or been laid off. Marty Flanagan is trying to keep the ship afloat at all costs, and those costs have removed wheat made the company strong to begin with - its employees. Too bad.

Former Employee – worked at Invesco full-time for more than 3 years

ProsWell respected name in the asset management industr. Invesco provides an intelligent work environment with knowledgable coworkers. I felt that coworkers were collaborative in projects.

ConsInternal jockying for limited promotions was frustrating. On the whole there was no clear path to promotion or advancement. Pay was significantly less than other asset managers.

Advice to Senior ManagementIntegrate the different businesses through a coherent strategy.
