Pros

Work life balance is ok

Cons

Work life balance (you pay will be significantly less than market) It's too laid back here The company does not cross train employees Managers do not offer promotions Systems are antiquated Information is not shared with other groups There will be no one to train you and at the end of the year it will be held against you (because that makes sense) The bank is insanely cheap TAG is terrible responding to requests Knowledge and hard work does not translate to a better salary or bonus If you try to move to a different role your manager will block you If you come here negotiate as high as you can on both salary and title

Pros

A couple of smart people who are kind and open to mentoring. Hours not bad given no deal flow in US.

Top heavy management. Culture values heavy politicking. Low bonuses.
