Pros

Still a high profile brand employer. Solid technology and some very bright people. It's a solid organization to learn your craft. Though all of this is becoming increasingly worse.

Cons

It was a premier house in Moscow. Not anymore. There is little flexibility in the organization. Relationships are increasingly political. No freedom to make decisions for anyone below Director level. London and Zurch dictate everything, even though they don't understand the local market. Local management is powerless. Everyone is increasingly concerned only about their own functional and personal well being. No unity. No drive towards overall success. Considerable push towards uniformity. It used to be very entrepreneureal. Now, if you don't fit the mold you'll either be broken down or pushed out.

Pros

I really enjoyed the office, the culture was great. Professional but relaxed. Opportunities are available if you want to advance.

Cons

It really depended on which team you were put on, I enjoyed working with my FAs. Base pay was not particularly high and it was up to the FAs to add any compensation. Some do and some don't.
