Pros

- Good Brand name - Great place to learn - Smart people -Some mobility to different groups/departments

Cons

Horrific compensation structure that is hindering the company's ability to retain talent. Analysts are pain OT, and most of them end up making more than AVPs (who don't get paid bonus). - Very long hours for little pay - Unreasonable deadlines (Directors want to look good so you are stuck in the office until midnight) - Extremely stressful/ high pressure environment - Many supports functions are being outsourced - poor job stability
