Pros

It is a big time firm and well known in the financial services industry so a good place to start. There are a variety of different roles and they try to encourage internal movement so opportunities are there. The PTO is competitive, probably above average and they offer work-from-home days which are convenient. Schedules can be flexible and they are good with sick days and coverage when needed.

Cons

Big time silo issues where communication is lacking and each department seems to be in competition, no one wants to take responsibility and rarely will they work together for the betterment of the company. The pay is lacking and lower than industry standard, overtime is non-existent even though you want to get out of there anyways once the 8 hours is up. The work is monotonous and was very difficult to grasp/improve due to the lack of hands on training and guidance.
