Vantaggi
Capital Group really shows that they care for their people. There is much company emphasis to support individual and family emergencies, flexible scheduling, authorized telecommuting, etc. The Capital Group environment is highly collaborative, with emphasis on team input, not dictatorships. Cowboys and knowledge hogs do not last long here; they are culturally weeded out. You really are not just a number at CG, as humility and respect for others is not just talked, it's walked. Also, the compensation and benefits are some of the best in this area. For the most part, CG leadership has been very forthcoming about the company's financial state and stresses from the declining market. They have not isolated themselves from the company.
Svantaggi
The highly collaborative nature can slow down progress because consensus sometimes becomes negotiation, etc. The company is also shifting the culture to emphasize accountability and single points of ownership, which is a relatively new concept at Capital.
