Cons

No clear business vision - frequent change of direction, no clearly articulated short term business goals or equivalent IT plans, consensus paralysis resulting in wrong or no decision, constant change because of wrong decisions, impossible to get your voice heard or influence anything, no cost control of change / no avareness of commercial aspects

Typical big wirehouse.

Pros

Used to have a good name now the same as everyone else. The best reason to work there is a large check to move your business or if you need a job.

Cons

Typical wirehouse. They dont care about anything but the bottom line. Workers are expendable except for large producers. They will change payout at a whim and tell you why its beneficial to you (it never is). No different than any other Wire. Get all promises IN WRITING. The work environment is as good as your direct report. Tech is built on legacy systems.
