Pros

The reputation is great; the compensation is on part with the rest of the street; the opportunities are varied; the support is great

Cons

There is an insane amount of politics; the bank is becoming scared of taking any sort of risk and moving away from any prop trading

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
