Pros

They paid up to bring in good talent and they always were bringing in league table topping traders and sales desks.

Cons

Mercenary culture. Everyone came in for the money and they will all leave for $5 more elsewhere. No opportunity for advancement or promotion. Only a stepping stone to the next job. Dead end. Toxic management. Snake pit.

Pros

Sometimes the work is challenging, good chance to see mature investment banking IT landscape.

Cons

All important decisions are done in london and NY, management consider local devs as abstract resources, no recognition, a huge lot of legacy systems that nobody cares to clean up, everybody building something new (no incidents, always better then existing etc).
