Pros

Its great to find employment in financial services during this tough time, so if you can get in then be happy. The onsite gym and parking is relatively inexpensive when compared to NYC.

Cons

Rumors of the AG selling the US based business continue to loom as do layoffs. That said it is a tough environment to work in when you think you can lose your job at any minute. Additionally, since no one is safe you cannot count on your managers to tell you anything. Basically bide your time and hope you make the cut.
