Pros

Stable company with good cash, Subsi of big Financial Institution, Brand name

Cons

Senior leadership is coterie of few people and then senior people have 1-2 favorites who in total 30-35 people run the company. There is no space for new comers, and these 35 people will not let you settle... There is big politics at play... Thats the reason these 35 people are staying more than 6,7,8, even 10 years as they are milking big cash cows,, doing all the big travel, taking all big bonuses and big increments and leaving anything for others
