Pros

Good brand name for someone looking to build a resume. The program is similar to others at other large investment banks. Training was very good and amid the most comprehensive on the street. I like the people I work with but that's one very small sample of the company.

Cons

LARGE, downsizing is ongoing so morale is not great. I am not really affected by the "largeness" since I am pretty much lowest on the totem pole and don't have to make requests to higher management, etc. but I can see my superiors are frustrated. It sometimes takes a long time for things to get done.

Pros

Benefits and time off are definitely a plus, very accommodating.

Cons

Great working environment, but you need to be co cern every year when cuts hit. They rate you average if they plan on cutting you and it seems like the cuts are based higher on the older employees that have many years with the company. Growth was non existing, every year it was senior managers are not allowing any promotions even to 2 rating employees for many years.
