Janus Henderson Investors

Once upon a time this was a really strong company with a great get-it-done culture. And, there is really only one direction for an investment firm -- go toward the $$$. 

Beyond lights on doors open the tech initiatives are fruitless and never ending. The leadership chase their tail with cutting edge initiatives for the sake of saying they're moving in that direction. They have spent the last several years going in the exact same direction with the exact same project with few if any results. The one project that actually got done resulted in the leader of that project getting "mutually separated" due to political maneuvering. 

This has become the single most Game of Thrones company I have ever been a part of. If you enjoy getting paid to spin your wheels for 12 months or so, or, you enjoy stabbing your coworkers in the back to get ahead, or you're an excellent drinking buddy, then this company is for you.  Just don't be surprised when you become a political pawn for someone elses gain.

The new CEO seems to be very cloak and dagger and is a seed planted by Trian Partners. I would be surprised if this company is even still around in a year.



While the company is working through the merger with Henderson and the incorporation of BNP into the middle office function, JHI has experienced a lot of challenges. However, I believe they provide an engaging and worthwhile experience and I have enjoyed my time here.
Any company undergoing a merger is going to have a challenging atmosphere, but I think a hard-working person would find that the culture and management  at this company makes up for the occasional difficulties.
Great compensation, benefits and volunteer time. This company encourages a healthy work/life balance as well as involvement in the community.
Great company to have a career with!

The position at Janus Henderson is stable yet can be very high pace. With helping the companies shareholders with everything from processing trades, providing account information, to helping unlock online accounts. through this position I have learned much about the financial mutual fund investment world. Starting as a contracted employee you show that you are Janus Henderson material by providing world class service and showing you can learn and adapt to the job quickly. One of the hardest parts of the job can be dealing with angry or irate customers. The most enjoyable part of the job is defiantly helping a shareholder achieve their goals and making sure everything runs smoothly.

I work in corporate communications and have a decent amount of variety in the job which keeps it interesting. I also appreciate their hybrid working model where I have a balance of being in the office and working from home. The culture is very open, inclusive and they genuinely want to help employees have long term success and the ability to flex and grow their careers. They "walk their talk" when it comes to DEI and have active Employee Resource Groups of all sorts that sponsor a lot of learning and activities which is cool. The (Denver) offices are nice, people help each other and they have a great rooftop gathering space.

The culture, opportunities and especially the people.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes taking over applications that the SME who knew it was no longer with the company and trying to figure all the different touchpoints that was not obvious.

Very inclusive culture - many clubs you can join, and scheduled events you can join.  As for work-life balance, very accommodating.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working across teams and working with teams in the London office.

Janus Henderson Investors pays well, benefits are below-average.  The biggest detractor has been the dramatic change in culture since Henderson took over Janus Capital - you hear people refer to it as a merger, but its a full-blown takeover.

Janus had always been a highly-charged political environment, but since Henderson assumed control, the politics are out of control.  Managers are more than happy to stab their reports in the back, as well as other managers.  The whispering campaigns throughout the firm are something I've never seen before in my professional career.  It's truly poisonous, which is why so many are fleeing for Schwab or elsewhere.

Overpaid senior management who will do anything to protect their paycheck. Toxic culture, very political and loyalty is fluid. Promotions are rare and certainly not merit-based and raises are for the very few huddling at the top. Lack of diversity, and rampant discrimination. Company structure is odd, with the CEO in London, the main corporate listing in NY and Australia and the original team in Denver. Share price has tanked, leaving it vulnerable. Lots of long-timers leaving with younger, cheaper  replacing them. it's a small cap firm that thinks it's more important than it is, and post merger still suffering fallout. Avoid.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Autonomy and encouragement. Easy access to management dialog.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The long commute from Boulder, CO. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Quiet and professional. Everyone there has a college degree.Many have advanced degrees.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Early morning 15 minute meeting with teammates. Left alone most of the day, 2-3 meetings during the day, quick and painless.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great benefits and people. The company changed over the years after corporate merger and after COVID, but company continued to invest in its employees.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Hybrid work schedules and not seeing coworkers as often as I would like.  Started to feel a bit detached.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Lots of zoom meetings! Started early and ended late  due to international time zones.

Janus Henderson Investors, previously Janus Capital Group, is a great company to work for. Very client-focused, people-focused and supportive of individual goals and needs. Relatively flat organization where employees are empowered to excel in their roles and deliver value to the organization. Community-like environment where colleagues take time to get to know one another.
