Pros

If you know the right people and if your manager is willing to work with you, you will certainly get to where you want to get. A good culture in which to work.

Cons

People do work crazy hours and are switched on all the time it seems. The appraisal process is not as transparent as could be.

Pros

The reputation is great; the compensation is on part with the rest of the street; the opportunities are varied; the support is great

Cons

There is an insane amount of politics; the bank is becoming scared of taking any sort of risk and moving away from any prop trading
