Pros

Health, dental, vision, 401k, pension, vacation, gym, wellness programs, flexibility with hours, friendly and professional environment, training, and similar benefits are wonderful. There is a lot of great opportunity to learn and grow if you get in the right position (and there is flexibility to move around). Recent changes within my department are moving in the right direction as far as empowering people to think for themselves, consolidating our technology stack, and getting rid of some of the older technology, and having a more open channels of communication between various areas.

Cons

Senior management is very stubborn about certain things, like I'm sure is the case in many companies. For example, the most casual attire you are typically permitted to wear is business casual. They also insist that none of our employees can work from home effectively, even though that is clearly not true. Several employees have had equal or greater performance when working from home, but are still not permitted to do so even though the governor said that those who could should continue to do so. They have not offered any good justification for this decision, and don't seem to care that we object, or that the order says that. We continue to lose much of our best talent because of this. Additionally, there is a large disconnect between the business side of things and the IT side of things. Often IT will be strong-armed into doing things that are impossible to do correctly/safely. Part of the culture is to be accommodating to others, and often gets so ingrained into people's heads that they often don't stand up for what is right or what is good long-term. On the opposite side of things, people often do not own all aspects of what they are working on because they believe certain parts to be someone else's job. People need to think and do things more for themselves instead of blindly passing work off to others.

Pros

Hands down, the best employment culture of any company I’ve worked for in my 25+ years practicing law. Federated is a true rarity - a company that genuinely lives its corporate values every day, in decisions both large and small. Leadership listens to employees with curiosity and a willingness to improve, not defensiveness or indifference. There’s a common refrain that if a company takes care of its employees, those employees will, in turn, take care of customers. I’ve never seen that philosophy embraced or executed as successfully as it is at Federated. Success is recognized and rewarded, teamwork - or “interdependence,” as we call it - is the norm, and challenges or setbacks are treated as opportunities for constructive feedback and growth. And that’s before even mentioning the outstanding compensation and benefits. I recommend Federated wholeheartedly and without reservation to friends and family.

Cons

Business formal dress code for more senior positions may be a bit antiquated.
