Pros

Many of the people from the Lehman-era are still here and are amazing to work with. Midtown NYC location.

Cons

Some of the OG dinosaurs from Barclays need to be let go. Work/life balance is non-existent — it’s showcased but rarely ever carried out as it is manager dependent. Lots of red tape and no clear cut path to promotion. Lays offs every few months or near-sourcing to the middle of NJ.
