Pros

The pay is OK. The offices in Frankfurt are very well located close to the Opera house. If you want to move to London, it's a good platform, also for pepople who love finance....

Cons

Bad management. Bad work conditions (lack of space), very little attention was given that we barely had enough elbow space to work and the noise levels in the office was always very high. Management does not understand technical issues. The heavy use of outsourcing to India is an another problem. The outsourcer's personnel is changing all the time, they get treated like rubbish buy their own management and the results are bad quality, lack of motivation and never ending levels of miscommunication.

Pros

Size and global reach Not too many senior management roles available elsewhere

Cons

No meritocracy No stability in management, vision and depth New management planted in IT/Ops from Lehman are bringing their own favorites. Not a bad idea if people are talented. Some are. But others have walked in with intellectual material from Barclays. This is plain illegal and problem waiting to bring the company down. No integrity. Sad part is the new management is aware of this Some of the old managers have managed to survive on BS. With flux and management change, the BS is getting them further in career. While real rain makers are slogging and getting pushed down. Example, FICC technnology has spent close to 1 billion in solutions for rates, fx and credit etrading, trading and risk platforms in the past 9 years. No real solutions have been delivered and the people involved have continued to grow without any consequence. With business management and technology management changes there is no real oversight or no one held accountable. Same story still continues.
