      Pros

      It's a great culture and good work and life balance. I also enjoyed the group I worked with. You're introduced to complex instruments as well.

      Cons

      To be honest, so far I have not noticed any downsides to working at Barclays Capital. Obviously, there are the certain people who are micromanagers, but that is everywhere.

      Pros

      The people I work with are intelligent, hardworking and care about the work they do. The industry is interesting, always changing and therefore challenging. Location is great!

      Cons

      There has been a lot of turmoil lately. Many people are more interested in building personal empires than doing what is best overall for the health of the company.

      Pros

      Nice people, challenging environment with lots going on. IShares team has an industry-leading position, which is nice. They have lots to do to streamline the technology infrastructure to get the lowest-cost/highest-value for the business. Figuring out how to do that, within the overall BGI legacy of infrastructure will be a challenge, but worth tackling.

      Cons

      Acquisition by Blackrock is likely to put significant pressure on BGI people, and many of the tech jobs may be absorbed, given the Blackrock investment technology organization.
