Pros

This is one of the IBs still on the upswing. It fared reasonably well during the recent financial crisis. After swallowed Lehman in a heart-beat, it elevated itself to be top tier.

Cons

After all it is a big bank, and a British bank. Turfs battles and political maneuvers can be painful if you don't enjoy seeing others suffer. But that can be said just about any other big organizations. However, I am speaking out my own experiences. There are a few tough women MDs there who were the worst colleagues I have ever seen in my 20 year Wall Street career.

Nice people, team atmosphere and great location. People really try to help each other while driving toward the completion of the project.

Many silos, and there is an absolute lack of organization charts.
