      Pros

      Resume building. One of few companies to offer a pension

      Cons

      The want to be bulge bracket but pay the minimum they can. They offer salary + "addition fixed pay" + tiny bonus. The effect of this is that they avoid UK taxes on bonuses, but do not need to commit to raising actual base pay and benefits based on it. Salaries have not be raised in IT for 3 years. Also by giving everyone "addition fixed pay" it reduces the abillity to differentiate between A and C employees. Raises in total comp to top employees was less than 2% for some departments -- not much different than C employees; Why work hard if there is no possibility of reward?

      Pros

      Strong name on the street. Good coffee at pantry- green mountain. Good location if you live in Westchester or Connecticut.

      Cons

      Management tries to trick you all the time. Beware of your pay structure. They can cut your salaries without saying it. READ YOUR OFFER LETTER. Whatever they did not PROMISE will not happen. Seriously. Also beware you need really long notice period before departure.... My own experience... All managers are trying to protect themselves ONLY. If you want to work at this bank, always have an offer on hand for backup.
