Business outlook

Pros

Unparalleled exposure to the inner circle of capital markets. It feels like being in a MBA almost, and you would have to grow in that direction.

Cons

Big global org so sometimes things are a little disjointed. There is also a lack of compelling leadership in the middle layer (Associate to Senior Director).
