Pros

Good to work for as an analyst, but less good to work for as an associate director. Job opps are limited across cycles, but do offer international opps to grow from as you progress. GE system in unevenly applied. with respect to internationals and US employees. Forced at times. Another thing to say is the people are nice, but the remnants of the fine Dillon Read Warburg culture varies.

Cons

Bad to get 0 bonus in down market and this should never happen, but has in the past. The 100+ hour work weeks should be rewarded, but proprietary risk trading with OPM should not. Not sure why the inconsistency of approaches.
