Pros

Very good benefits in terms of vacation and 401K, but health benefit was considerably downgraded this year. It very rarely lays off workers. It is a "pro" for people who are looking for an easy place to make an easy salary and do not want to worry too much about being fired.

Cons

Lack of excitement, lots of office politics and bureaucracies. Very poor office admin support staff. It is a nightmare to book a conf room, get a laptop for traveling, report a system access issue, etc. I guess part of the problem can be attributed to its pure large size. However it is explained, it is just painful. People from UK office are given more opportunities than others, which is demoralizing to US workers.

Pros

Never come. All the positions and all area is same terrible. HR official turnover rate reach to 15%, some core hard working positions even can be a higher rate

Cons

They don't respect employees, there's a suit in New York area initiated by previous bankers in 2023. Because they asked for a lot of volunteering work on formal job but never pay
