Pros

Great benefits Many very nice people to work with

Cons

Management in many business areas consists of clicks of like minded people that do not recognize those outside the click as having any value. This results in many single-minded decisions made in a vacuum. It also results in poor management perpetuating itself. Leadership is largely absent in many areas. Leaders focus on their own career goals and make no attempt to get to know those who report to them or learn what experience or strengths they already possess. In the business areas I am familiar with, there is no concern or effort expended by management to solicit career goals, develop skills or utilize existing skills. Producing consistently great results only serves to advance the manager's career goals. There is little or no reward for consistently achieving outstanding results and reviews Although T. Rowe as a company is ethical, many managers are not.

Pros

Working with highly talented group of people. The company's name has a lot of weight and looks good on your resume. It's a very diverse company.

Cons

Contractor beware. I was brought on as a contract-to-hire. Three months in T. Rowe announced they were freezing hiring, but they extended my contract regardless. A year later they announced they weren't extending contractors except in extraordinary circumstances. When I started I was the the third contractor on my team and when I left my team had no contractors left. So whatever they promise you to get in the door, take with a grain of salt. Also be forewarned: contractors will be furloughed over the Winter holidays, that's three weeks of pay you'll lose. I've contracted elsewhere in my career and T Rowe stands out for how contractors are second class employees. Besides furloughs you won't be able to attend many meetings or get training. Meanwhile you'll have to adhere to the same strict scrutiny as a regular employee: the company will monitor your stock transactions and prevent you from participating in all sorts of outside activities.
