Pros

The junior staff is very talented.

Cons

The work culture has become too toxic for a competent employee to justify staying. Unfortunately, the CEO and her closest staff are the least capable people in the organization and they have a long history of driving out good people. The CEO refuses to manage the organization and its key relationships leaving the organization with inadequate staffing and insufficient funding.

Pros

A couple of flagship products (Pulse, Compass) truly influence the industry (but internally most staff are left in the dark about them). Work from home policy very flexible.

Cons

Take the negative reviews extremely seriously if you're considering working here. Unwieldly, overlapping, conflicting processes and non-existent knowledge management render work quality mediocre across the board, which isn't fun if you're a high performer. Vaguely defined "Program Team" does the consulting, research, and innovation work the company is known for, but internally falls below large and bureaucratic "shared services" and marcomm departments in terms of getting resources to actually conduct work. Despite high volume of "planning calls to plan plans", as another reviewer accurately wrote, little meaningful collaboration happens among colleagues: projects are rushed, surface-level, and usually starting from scratch every time rather than building on the company's decade+ of expertise; that's another result of non-existent knowledge management (often, separate projects on the same topic are going on simultaneously with neither set of colleagues knowing).

Pros

Mission driven organization that employs some of the most passionate and hard-working individuals in the financial services industry. These are the people that make the world a better place, for everyone. I've learned a great deal from my colleagues and their enthusiasm for the mission is contagious. CFSI also has some swanky offices, while simultaneously providing you the flexibility to work remotely when needed. They provide market compensation, despite being a young organization.

Cons

For a progressive organization with female leadership, that often speaks of doing the right thing, I was appalled to learn that CFSI's maternity leave benefits for full-time employees are virtually non-existent. Their maternity leave policy pales in comparison to comparable financial organizations which offer 8-12 weeks of paid leave, with 100% pay. I have trouble reconciling CFSI's maternity policy, given that they provide senior executives with the ability to take a 12-weeks of sabbatical -- with pay. Employees at CFSI hoped for a revamped maternity policy, but these hopes were dashed after a former executive of Planned Parenthood was hired and no action was taken on this important issue. If you're considering starting or growing your family, CFSI is not conducive.
