Pros

Pay is good, hours are quite ok compared to other investment banks. People are generally nice, but competitive.

Cons

Big organization, communication and information sometimes hard to get. Systems are outdated and need overhaul to save tedious administration work. Although people are nice, they can be very competitive.

Pros

Offers decent job flexibility and work-life balance if you have a good manager. Telecommuting is allowed, provided that the work you do doesn't require face-to-face interaction.

Cons

Good performance reviews won't offer you opportunities for advancement. In fact, it's unclear exactly how one gets promoted. It appears to be based on whether you're in the right inner circle. The salary is also well below market standards unless you're a financial advisor. Growth and development opportunities are also limited.
