Pros

Good name in the Street, good equity research. It's still a prestigious firm to get your licenses, spend a year there and get out!

Cons

They keep changing the managers! My coach didn't believe in the program, in the lending firm capabilities, in the new rules in the industry....I don't know why they kept him as a coach!! Also, cold call is such a waste of time!! We're not in 1985 anymore!! You will compete with hated robo-callers, nasty sellers...(who likes to receive a pushy cold call??!!)

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
