Business outlook
Pros
ShareBuilder was a great entrepreneurial culture. There are plenty of opportunities for those that are willing to work hard, The company had an aggressive growth strategy because it was a Venture Capital backed portfolio company.
Cons
The company was purchased by ING in 2007. The culture at ShareBuilder was very relaxed and very west coast. When ING purchased the company, they brought a lot of big-company controls (revised dress code, website lock-downs, cutting of free monthly investment benefit for employees).
