Pros

Good work life balance. You can learn but the pressure of face time is not as bad as some other financial services firms.

Cons

Promotion is based on how you dress, how nicely you can make powerpoints and who you know. No part of the promotion process is based on true merit. Industry knowledge, accomplishments nor education factor in. This resulted in great executives being forced out, people with Ivy level education, and instead the top 3 in ops and IT have not a single college degree between the 3 of them. They seem mostly concerned with cutting costs and taking care of those they know, not those who have great accomplishments and skill since they can't recognize it.

Pros

Great coworkers, really enjoyed the people I got to meet and work with.

Cons

The fixed income group is constantly giving management new titles but nothings ever changing. While the job is learned, there are many AB quirks that you just have to learn - very frustrating and unintuitive organization. Management is constantly giving themselves new titles but nothing ever changes. Hard time retaining talent, turnover is very high. Dishonesty in the role was conveyed in the interview process.
