      Good place to work if you can dominate and not be bullied.

      Pros

      Amount of responsibility given is quite good, and is satisfying. There is a lot of autonomy available if you can take it, and can show that you have the initiative to take things and make them work better.

      Cons

      Lack of respect by senior employees to junior ones. There is a lot of attitude around "I'm a VIP. Everybody else is here only to jump when I say jump". And the worse thing is that lot of jerks do get away with it. There is also a need to suck up to bosses, to have any hopes of making it bigger here.

      Pros

      smart people, global firm with chance to work across geographies, interesting business lines. well regarded in industry/externally. solid benefits for staff.

      Cons

      firm is now too large, especially in some parts; middle managers are now concerned about creating & maintaining fiefdoms rather than pursuing profitable growth. employee growth is limited by narrow hiring practices, especially etfs.
