This once was a great company to work for. - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Janus Capital

Great learning experience and smart people are at the firm.

No cons. Overall great experience.

Biggest investment shop in Denver. The nicest pro I can give is that there is free soda.

Janus may seem impressive on a resume but the organization is completely dysfunctional. New senior analysts are hired based on business school pedigree, or more importantly, ability to effectively gossip and socialize within the office. Promotions never materialize because experience/hard work doesn't matter here. The investment team consists of ideologues whom struggle making active investing decisions which is pretty evident when looking at historical returns. I have never worked for a company with lower morale. At least in equity research, the best way to gauge whether management is lying to you is when they open their mouths. The ongoing merger was formed to benefit top executives while bonuses declined and no raises were given to most employees. Many people join Janus to live in Denver and I would caution against this. Management will lure you in only to trap you in a city with limited competition. Please exhaust other options before accepting a position with Janus. It is impossible to break through the bureaucracy of this organization. Women and minorities need not apply here. Most women have left due to the non-welcoming environment and there are no minorities. The only viewpoint here is one of a white, Ivy League male with a stay at home wife and country club membership. I am shocked there hasn’t been a lawsuit yet.
