      Too bad Lehman went bankrupt and Barcap's second rate cuture took over

      M&a analyst

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Able to do a smooth transition fairly smoothly after Lehman bankruptcy

      Cons

      - Letting some of Barcap's side management to run areas where Lehman Brothers was clearly a lot better at and therefore Barcap should've let ex Lehman people to run it. - Horrible culture, Barcap doesn't understand how a top notch investment bank is run - Nobody really cared about Barcap, but when you mention "Ex Lehman" then we get the deals - Trying to do everything very cheapl, some top notch Lehman support departments which was essential to us in M&A were cut in exchange for cheaper Indian outsourcing firms which was a total disaster to get everything done.
