Pros

There are loads of company perks, plenty of cross department moving opportunity and is also extremely equalitarian company to work for.

Cons

Loads of bureaucracy however and not necessarily the brightest people in. Sometimes it will be hard to drive your career how you would want it

Pros

Great open culture in the office. Managers are very approachable. Encourages work-life balance. An investment bank growing at a very face pace.

Cons

Team might be too large and individuals might find it hard to "shine". Constant changes in management decisions and many were made in the last minute.

Doesn't care about the rank and file

Pros

Everything is orderly and methodical

Cons

Management is bent on becoming the "Premier Global Investment Bank" but doesn't really care about its employees, we are all just parts in a large machine with a market cost on each of our heads.
