Pros

- Huge company with lots of resources and learning opportunities - Mobility within the company is good - Base salary is high

Cons

- People are paid and promoted based on length of time at the firm more than anything - Company had its best year ever in 2017, yet analysts and associates did not feel that in their bonus for the most part - Company has created environment that burns through analysts and tries to attract top talent by offering high salaries but then the work/life balance and learning opportunities are terrible

Pros

1. One of the best banks, heavy on tech and AI, that makes my life simple 2. Bonus is consistent every year 3. The company is highly social and multicultural. 4. A lot of training program to upskill and develop.

Cons

1. A lot of administrative items to take care of, a significant portion is spent on meetings, meetings are called to establish an agenda for next meetings, and so on. 2. Layoffs, all year round- sometimes significant, while in the middle of delivery. If your manager is off-site/ another city/country, you are more likely to be impacted. 3. Departments may have skewed gender or racial ratios. It is best to stay away to avoid discrimination (to be fair, this has less to do with culture and more to do with who the head of the department is).
