Pros

Good place to work if you are motivated and enthusiastic. Lots of interesting technology and hard work. Rewards staff very well.

Cons

Very unstructured environment, hero culture that is typical of IB. Can be very political as a manager. . . .

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
