Workaholic's paradise

Pros

Very likely to broaden your worldview. Most of the staff are highly motivated, very intelligent professionals. People from all over the world work here; very cosmopolitan atmosphere. More stunningly beautiful woman work here than anywhere else I've ever worked. Depending on your field, compensation is likely to be good to very good.

Cons

Complete workaholic environment. As budgets have been cut but workload has increased, management has turned to hiring consultants, who now do much of the work. Being hired as a consultant is *not* a way to get into the Bank. Highly political; if you don't have these skills, you won't do well here.
