Pros

Great colleagues and good benefits with ESPP, 401k, PTO. Since working there I've heard that maternity leave is paid 100% for 12 weeks, which is also really nice. Nice exposure to a lot of different financial markets and alternative investments.

Cons

Hard to move up the ladder or move laterally within the firm. When the firm was purchased by BMO it made reviews and bonuses/pay increases more about being a number to the company and not so much your overall contributions. Low pay overall, not very competitive until you make it to mid-level management. Every quarter you are expected to put in a lot of overtime, but you do get paid for it. Hard to balance life at those times of the year though.
