      opportunity for improvement

      Assistant vice-president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company is growing, so there is potentially opportunities for employees

      Cons

      There was organis growth, until recently where all the management gets brought in from outside leaving little opportunity for promotion for existing employees. Some even got demoted in comparison. For example in the old days, VP is a relatively rare and most would be team leaders. However due to the difference between the rank in Barcap and US banks, people being brought in from other banks are being hired at VP level when they should be AVP judging by thier experience.

      Overall a good place to work, though lacks structure

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Comp is good. It's a consensus organization with a huge weight put on who you know, but the people are all very helpful and open to questions or those seeking advice. There is good work-life balance.

      Cons

      There is little in the way of career support but the environment does encourage "self-starters" to move up within the organization. The lack of employee ownership options for many below the Managing Director level is a severe limitation.
