Philadelphia, PA

Current Employee – been working at SEI Investments full-time for more than 7 years

ProsThe company is a great place to make friends and enjoy your time in the office. The company is great for people who have families and need the flexible balance of time and also for people who are established in their careers looking for a home.

ConsThe atmosphere doesn't push people to succeed so a lot of tasks are done on a so so basis. There are a lot of gaps in processes and it's not a focus to correct.

Advice to Senior ManagementSpend some time focusing on the structuring of responsibilities, tasks and understanding. It may be time consuming at first but will be very rewarding in the future.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at SEI Investments full-time for more than 7 years

ProsClear differentiation in product offering versus primary competitors. Leveraged business model where all business lines leverage the same platform - provides for significant competitive advantage in the marketplace.

ConsWeak executive leadership below CEO. Business leaders that are fat and happy and not committed to the advancement of their employees.

Advice to Senior ManagementReturn to culture that made company one of top Fortune companies to work for. Bring in executives like Lieb, Romeo, and Guarino.
