Pros

It's on Park Avenue, the only positive to this bank.

Cons

If you are not of Japanese heritage, your career path is dead. A lot of red tape all around, by the time everyone agrees on the current policies, it's time to change it again. You have to work there for over 5 years before you are promoted or if you kisses up to the CCO. No one wants to work for a person who has a spreadsheet documenting every time you get up to go to the bathroom or to get a drink of water. How can the CCO condone this? All of your phone calls are recorded and your emails are monitored --it's similar to being a the book "1984". Rainmakers do not stay, they will leave for a better bank and those who have left have done quite well in terms of titles and salaries.
