The Ivy League Hangout
This company is very by the book with their approach to everything, and they will not give you the time of day unless you can drop names or make their high demands in production.

Valuable exposure to different areas of the asset management industry.
My main responsibilities as an intern in Franklin Templeton's GTAA Group was directed toward using a new software called EndNote to organizing thousands of document, that they use in their financial modeling process, into certain taxonomies that makes future accessibility easier. Because I was primarily the only one using this software everyday I had to manage my own workflow, yet keep a flexible and adaptive game plan to achieve my goals. Also, with management having demanding work schedules I had to be aggressive and work independently through obstacles, but used collaboration and teamwork to enhance my job duties.

Nice environment but beware of job security
I worked at Franklin Templeton as a contractor for a year and a half.
As a contractor you are not involved in most company meetings, obviously can not share in the benefits and are kept out of the culture loop. Upper management must watch the bottom line since they are a finance company and are publicly traded so many people come and go depending on the budget.
ProsFree coffee and tea, great cafe and gym on premises, decent pay and great benefits
Consvery litlle job security, no contact with upper management

Open, Transparent & Respectful work culture
This is a company that provides opportunities that match the amount of effort you put. For the aspirational only sky is limit if your goals are minimal and there is space for that as well.
Really a good time to remember in my career

This is a good company and brand to work for but the culture is biased. While the people have remained for years but the method of teaching and training for new comers especially from a different industry is poor.

Pool table
I enjoyed playing pool with other workers during breaks. Cafeteria was furnished with many different flavours of free teas and coffees. Several TVs were available with remote controls to watch any show of your choice.

A good company to start your career. Will come to know about corporate culture, ethics and knowledge. Management is good. Moreover the campus with pleasant ambience adds one more point.

Senior Marketing Analyst |
Edinburgh | Mar 1, 2016
Franklin Templeton is a global company providing opportunity for young talent.
My work involved liaison with international teams. The work was achieved by telephone contact and use of Net meeting. My role was driven by deadlines and budget constraints.
I learned how to bring the best out in people whilst dealing with them remotely.
The hardest part was ensuring clear communication between myself and colleagues in other locations. The best part was completing a project together as a team comprised of individuals with diverse knowledge and skills.
