No significant comp raises; be happy with your starting salary, because you’ll be playing catch up for as long as you are employed here
Middle management is such a joke and most employees spend their days trying to justify their existence
You are expected to go above and beyond your current scope for a scrap of recognition year after year and MAYBE a slight raise; it’s very difficult to succeed here, and there is no motivation to perform excellently as you won’t have any monetary gain either way
Company pretends they care about their employees but in the end it’s all about shareholders and profit just like any other financial firm
Work is very siloed because the company is so big, which can be a pro or con for some
Your workload always seems to increase while your comp stays the same
Company can’t retain talent because you need to leave in order to grow financially
Assistants were the first to lose their bonuses in order to save the bank money; they take from their employees in order to grow financially
No free lunch and you pay health insurance premiums— this is no longer competitive benefits, and the firm can stand to provide free lunch in my opinion. You pay for the food in their cafeteria and it’s very mediocre but overpriced
