Pros

Benefits are good if you have worked there more than 2 years and are grandfathered in the old plan. Flexible working and working from home has finally arrived at the Investment Bank. People are nice. It's a friendly place to work. Salaries are average with the industry.

Cons

Technology is shocking and very behind other banks due to lack of investment. Cost cutting has been too severe, constant changes in mgmt decisions and failed location strategies has caused talent to leave. Bonuses are below average.
