Pros

Good compensation, some really, really smart and good people. You can learn a lot about banking. The best and the worst of Japanese culture. High level direct respect, but no respect when behind closed doors.

Cons

Hiring million dollar senior leaders; hire friends of the new leaders both as employees and high priced consultants and build expensive space for themselves then cut and relocate staff to pay for it. We've been through at least 3 rounds of cost cutting during my 3 years, and now there's very little fat left, except at the top.
