Failure to Launch

Nice place to work and grow within a company.
Free Asset Movement (FMA) analyst (Former Employee), Oaks, PA – March 14, 2013
Pros: many perks with working from home on occasion as well as many days where employees are recognized by, for example: free lunches or the chance to leave early upon the completion of your work.
Cons: though innovative in it's thinking as a company, some things were trial and error type situations where often time even in going to management, there were no set practices yet in place.
My overall experience with this company was interesting as the environment is quite innovative and different. I enjoyed the experience and the opportunities it offered.

Fun place to work, very laid back
Hedge Fund Supervisor (Current Employee), Oaks, PA – March 4, 2013
Pros: atmosphere, colleagues, location
Cons: medical benefits, resources, salary
I very much enjoy working at SEI. They provide a lot of extra perks that come in handy from dry cleaning to oil changes. I love working with my co-workers and have gain many friendships. Besides from accounting/finance course and college, SEI taught me all that I know about the field. The hardest part of the job is upper management does not provide – more... adequate support and resources to complete work expectations such has more accounts on specific account. Upper managements lack of knowledge of what is needed for operations to be successful the departments major issue. – less

Mad house, but it was a job
Data Analyst / Senior Data Analyst (Former Employee), Chicago, IL – November 6, 2012
At the time when I worked here, it was a mad house. Managers were very old school and clickish. You were promoted if you were liked.
If you had a good manager you probably did well. I did learn alot.

I was happy working for them.
Security Guard (Former Employee), Pikeville, KY – July 25, 2012
Pros: flexible managment, decent pay, good hours
Cons: being too good to clients, sending you home just because
They were very flexible in giving me the days and hours I needed, the pay was decent and they hire just about anybody. They will sometimes send you home in order to give a senior officer more hours or if the client wants a particular guard. All in all the experience was a good one.

A great place for college grads!
Senior Accounting Analyst (Former Employee), Oaks, PA – June 5, 2012
SEI has a wonderful work environment. It is full of fun, and management goes out of their way to make each employee feel like part of a family. There are monthly happy hours for team building. They also enable employees to engage in numerous extracurricular activities such as softball league. While the salary is on the low end of the market, they make – more... up for it in employee morale. – less
