Pros

Salaries tend to be competitive amongst other wall street firms. The name on your resume couldnt hurt either. People know what they are doing, but seldom help others.

Cons

Say they encourage internal mobility- but really dont. Enforce a culture of fear and know that they can always hire someone else to fill your position if need be.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
