      Pros

      Great place to Bank, Great Place to Work! Challenging atmosphere with ample opportunities for growth. Compensation is also per industry standards.

      Cons

      Limited to banking. Not an entirely seamless organization.

      Decent pay; long hours required

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -base pay is competitive and bonus can be very good -great for those who like a "small-business" mentality and don't mind rolling up their sleeves to do whatever it takes to get things done -citrix is available for working from home -pension is good (defined contribution scheme is STILL better than the defined benefit scheme I had at my last bank employer) -because it is so lean, you of necessity get exposure to many different tasks. You might also get opportunities to manage people that you wouldn't otherwise get in a larger bank. You'll also get exposure to people of many different levels. It's a great "boot camp"--but you have to be able to handle ambiguity, your job changing nearly daily, and having to do grunt work sometimes (no matter what your level). -after two years, you can apply to internal jobs in other parts of the world.

      Cons

      -IT support is terrible; calling the Help Desk can be a real exercise in futility and frustration -very lean, meaning that if you have an HR question, you don't ask an HR rep: you complete an on-line form and wait days for a response which may or may not help -if you are accustomed to a yearly cost of living increase, forget it (no pay increase this past year, although bonus was very good) -no budget for training -you are encouraged to work over-time (good news is if you are below a certain level you will be paid for it; bad news if you are mgmt you'd better be prepared to work a couple evenings a week and answer your blackberry on weekends) -"innovative" vacation day scheme means your sick days come out of your total pool of vacation days; means that people with a cough or cold will come into work rather than have a vacation day taken away. (I do have a nice boss who lets me work from home in those situations, but not everyone is so lucky) -on-boarding training is lacking; learning is done on the job
