Pros

Extensive training and learning oportunities

Cons

Once you start there as a CSA, you get stuck with the same salary and position for...ever; there's basically no growth potential; management is terrible and many times not capable of doing their job.

Pros

Great people, very international work environment. Very good graduate trainee program that gives you great exposure. Chances available to work abroad, Better benefits (401k matches and vacation days) than most other companies.

Cons

Being loyal to the company doesn't pay off anymore. Horrible internal politics. Very difficult to move to other desks internally. Compensation has been on the decline for years and has been very heavily impacted by trading losses and fines,

Pros

Lots of chances to learn, interact, apply knowledge and influence and improve processes. Great dynamic environment where things happen and change all the time.

Cons

Preoccupation with protecting risk to the company, but lacking clear communication to affected parties what needs to be done. Sometimes, a bit too much change for people to follow as well. Career progression can also depend a lot on where in the organization you currently are. Most doors are open for people who are already in the front-line or in sensitive IB areas.
