Pros

Flexible when it comes to work.life balance

Cons

Company is not diverse. They make you take the 15 minute online training, but they do not practice it. What's the use? Not many opportunities for people of color Company does not promote within. Why not promote the people who are working hard, getting educated, and perform well on their jobs? Why do the good one have to leave in order to get the promotions/recognition that they deserve?

Pros

Very flat structure - relatively easy access to senior manangement, no hierachy, little tolerance of office politics (although in pockets they do exist). Opportunity for young talent to progress rapidly.

Cons

Key decisions still very much taken in a very small executive cabal - question whether integration of Lehman US will change culture.
