      Great Place to Work if You're Patient

      Pros

      They are doing a fairly good job of integrating Lehman into their culture. The transition has been long and ardous, but they are ultimately making strides to becoming one of the best banks on the street.

      Cons

      Little recognition for middle management. Not as agile as Lehman, and people don't seem to have the same desire to effect change.

      Pros

      Salaries tend to be competitive amongst other wall street firms. The name on your resume couldnt hurt either. People know what they are doing, but seldom help others.

      Cons

      Say they encourage internal mobility- but really dont. Enforce a culture of fear and know that they can always hire someone else to fill your position if need be.

      BGI -- Good for some, bad for others

      Pros

      Smart people, good products, great benefits, good pay if you are among the "in"s

      Cons

      Performance and reward don't seem to always go hand-in-hand. The jokes around the firm were the like of "Speak the truth as long as it's what they want to hear", or "Brown nosing is the favorite sport"...
