Pros

I had nice coworkers and met some good people.

Cons

The organization was completely dysfunctional with a cult of personality around senior management. Many managers mistreated their employees. The offices in one of the New York locations are the shabbiest office I have ever seen, worse than city government. It tells you exactly what they think of their employees. Planning and project management is generally non-existent, leading to lots of fire drills and last minute requests. The environment is burn and churn.

Pros

There is real opportunity for career and skill growth. The company runs short on head count, so people willing to take on more responsibilities have avenues to progress. However, you will need to force the issue for promotions & large salary increases after you prove your capabilities. Realistically it'll take an external counteroffer to move the needle.

Cons

It's a large bank and you're a number in the system. If your NPV is positive you'll stay, else you'll be laid off. This includes both scenarios you control and those you don't. Ex. You control your performance, in office time and networking You don't control if your location is a strategic growth site, if a major client goes with a competitor, or if you'd be impacted by a general company-wide layoff plan.
