      Pros

      Has good cross-team cooperation. True global investment bank. Relatively new IT infrastructure. Good off-shore IT support. Not a lot of high cost legacy applications.

      Cons

      Overly focusing on cost cutting. Very bureaucratic in back office. A lot of exposure to EU and UK weakness and not as strong as HSBC in Asia.
