Pros

None - used to be a great place but not anymore

Cons

None - after the merger and new inexperienced ceo - the whole company is a mess. Leave while u can. Ceo has no direction ; only wants to control and bring her own people. Biased.

Sub-par senior leadership

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

At least in New York, the culture is generally decent and employees get along and respect each other. Many American banks have cutthroat, backstabbing cultures. HSBC has some of this too, but not to as severe of a degree

Cons

However, both the US and Global Leadership are not particularly inspiring, this is from the C-suite down to several levels of MDs. Most lack vision, inspiration or a genuine desire to compete. They are clipping coupons on their salary and bonus until they retire. No one makes singular decisions, everything is done via consensus. Senior management doesn't seem to believe time is against them -- simple requests can take weeks or months for decisions to be made.
