Pros

work is exciting if you love financial industry pay you well

Cons

No standard followed in promotions, some teams promotions are very common while others you are stuck in same position for years and finally end up leaving. You can never compare two people in the same title here, money saving is the primary goal these days and can see a great company loosing its shine. This company used to be in best 100 companies for years. I cant think this is going to happen in the future middle management keeps changing and new managers have no idea what kind of work their employees are doing. work life balance is mostly in paper, also varies with managers even in same department.
