Pros

In general, people are treating each other with respect. Same as other big institutions, there can be a lot of internal job opportunities - depending on individual's experience, skills and educational level. Many employees have faith in the bank's international footprint.

Cons

Pay is below average, in particular at non-managerial levels. There has been increasingly more push for sales in various departments, even roles that are traditionally not sales oriented.

A couple of smart people who are kind and open to mentoring. Hours not bad given no deal flow in US.
