Pros
Relatively stable bank in today's market. One of the few still hiring. As always your experience will vary from one group to another but in general most people are very helpful, middle management is very approachable. Mostly a meritocracy. Some very smart and hardworking people in IT. The CIO has assembled a good team of direct reports and they are doing a very decent job of executing his vision of building an industry leading platform. The firm seems to follow Bob Diamond's "No jerk" policy
Cons
Hours...did I say that before long hours. Probably not any worse than at another IB, but maintaining a work life balance is difficult if not impossible.
