      Not competitive salary and bonus package

      Associate director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you want a relaxed place, where to learn things by yourself, then go for it.

      Cons

      Low recognition for hard work and bright people. The compensation package is not competitive. A bit of ageism: if you are young, you cannot earn that much, unless you have been sitting on that chair for at least 7 years.

      Pros

      Growing opportunities in the US since it's a relatively new and small player in the US.

      Cons

      With the acquisition of Lehman,it's expense base has gotten much larger. Some of its manual process is not conducive to the growing firm.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      good brand, some good people in front office

      Cons

      incompetent middle management, the majority of whom are dangerously underqualified to work in any position of authority within banking inadequate processes for almost everything blame culture - managers will not take responsibility for anything, backstabbing, always pass the buck to someone else politics are machiavelian - performance reviews in particular I could go on and on - i completely agree with previous review - the worst place I have ever worked
