Pros

Great brand name and some really smart people for sure Access to top notch research from the sell-side analysts Great food in cafeteria, convenient central location close to train network Can eat lunch in your office! Fairly good flex-time options, if need be Good exit options, when you have spent a few years in this firm

Cons

Limited growth, if you do not belong to the old boys club Low employee morale, compounded by gray walls Lack of meaningful diversity in the workplace Lack of an international focus, much of the work is domestic and that explains the inherent geographical risk

Pros

If you enjoy working in a corporate atmosphere and want to continue to pursue a finance field, the opportunities might be best at least to start in this company. After one or two years, you can move on to a better company. They do have good structure and company organization.

Cons

Opportunities to move up are not substantial. There is a good ol' boy network. There is almost no diversity. The meetings are terribly wasteful. This company does not like it when employees have a personal life. Women taking maternity leave often do not return, and if they do, they eventually quit because having a family life outside work is frowned upon.

Pros

Very bright forward thinking people. They want you to succeed and advance in the company. I worked as a regional consultant and the opportunity to move into the field as an external wholesaler was available if you are a solid presenter and have a good knowledge of the markets and products. The best way to suceed is to make management aware of youre accomplishments on every occasion. This means pulling calls and sales discussions that went well and sharing them with your manager. Also getting in early and staying late are encouraged. Finally having a working knowledge of your competitors.

Cons

Lots of competition and hard to seperate yourself from everyone else at the company
