      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent benefits, medical and 401K Competitive salary compared to other wall street firms Flexible work hours Good brand name Ability to move to Asia or Europe

      Cons

      Very difficult to get promoted or get a raise unless you are politically connected or you at the time of hire. Bureaucracy and frequent management changes They over-hire and then layoff (non merit related) Multiple teams develop the same things in parallel, only for job security Ones gets dissatisfied soon because growth is limited

      Pros

      People are good to work with, overall competent. Benefits is good or better than average compared to other UK banks. The culture is quite good and you can feel people are proud to be working there.

      Cons

      Bureaucracy just like any other large corporation, although not uncommon for this type of financial services firm. People look at your job grade first, then your title, then your name.
