Pros

Big firm, lots of opportunity to move up with all the turmoil and turnover at the bank right now. Focus on citizenship and service.

Cons

Used to be a legit bulge bracket bank, has fallen apart as of late and is losing most of its talented people.

Pros

Good people with good morale. Awesome managers and they also believe in working just as much as their staff does, if not more.

Cons

Outsourcing to India and other places. People afraid to move into other positions because they don't know how long they will have their jobs here in the US.

Pros

Professional environment. Friendly and supportive people that are willing to teach / help you learn. Senior people are very down to earth and respect their junior team.

Cons

Lack of loyalty to the firm and long hours. Facetime applies.
