Pros

Work/life balance is reasonable, with associates working less than in the growth days of yesteryear. Smart people is probably the biggest highlight.

Cons

In the current slow growth mode, promotions are less frequent. Compensation has been reduced, to be fair it's likely been reducing in line with industry trends.

Pros

Excellent work/life balance, very flexible, ok benefits. Many very smart and talented people to work with.

Cons

Culture has turned into one of finger pointing and CYA, very passive agressive. There are not a lot of opportunities for advancement and the review process has turned into a political free for all where hard work and leadership are not rewarded.

Pros

Well-run and efficient, for a large corporation. Great work/life balance and a focus on results. Very competent people throughout organization. Excellent benefits and facilities.

Cons

People often get promoted to management roles because they're good analysts, not because they'd make good managers. Some people make have ethical qualms about working for a company whose primary line of business is sub-prime credit card lending.
