Avoid GTS at all cost if you want to advance your career beyond the analyst stage.
Pros
Online training was great. I actually miss it still. You could learn about anything you wanted, and I took full advantage of that. Good vacation and personal time off package for my position. Ability to work from home. The company has a good name so it wasn't too difficult to jump to a competent FI. Global footprint theoretically allows you to move anywhere. I'm not sure how many people actually do this though.
Cons
-High school like atmosphere. -Generally disinterested, absent and self promoting management -Not a meritocracy, even though they say they are. -GTS is a joke, no opportunity for growth. Too much focus on expenses has damaged staff morale severely. -Poor cafeteria (Buffalo location) -HR is nonexistent when you need them, actually always nonexistent except for email reminders about dress code constantly. Unwilling to help employees.
