Avantages
Most of the people I worked with were intelligent, collaborative, and great to be around. The organization does a great job of hiring talent and gives them the tools to succeed. Work-life balance is better when compared to other firms in the industry. Career advancement and opportunities are there if you are willing to move to HQ in Atlanta. Houston also has some opportunities but department-specific. Pay is above industry standard for back-office but average for middle office/corporate roles. Good 401k match ~ 6% The company transitioned from 15 days PTO to unlimited PTO as of 2020. Pretty good for the industry, but lagging behind other industries such as technology.
Inconvénients
For an organization that prides itself on culture, they have done quite a bit in the past 5 years to erode the sense of pride and loyalty that employees have for the firm, especially in Houston. To some, Invesco is just another company in the industry at this point. Layoffs in the Houston office are now a normal occurrence. The former AIM Investments (before the merger with Invesco) familial culture has eroded. It is slowly being replaced with a generic corporate culture full of politics and passive aggressiveness. I would throughout research the department and location before committing to the firm. You want to make sure the department won't get moved to Atlanta and New York in the next decade.
