Pros

Compensation and Benefits , Great Collagues , ( Good Perks ) Discounted Parking . Verizons great Discounts pkgs sav 19% . I miss alot of that.

Cons

Career Opportunities were never really as good as they make it out to be. They offered classes , that was great . However it was so busy with my 50 hours plus. Time was very difficult to make for these classes. It also required traveling that added to more time. Hard to balance with your personal life.

Business Outlook

Pros

Global invest banking is a very interesting place to work especially if you've never been to such place before. The salary is good and some feeling of stability is also nice.

Cons

Probably as an every other global organization there are certain problems with communication. This include team members from different regions communicating to each other, different teams around sharing knowledge, management sharing their plans for future. One person might have several managers all giving him different tasks to do and sometimes even not knowing that these things contradict each other. Traders are quite special people - sometimes hard to deal with.
