Pros

Great environment Flexible working hours. Potential for professional growth(if you have a nice boss) - copied from a previous post but couldnt have sd it better Good vacation time.

Cons

Too many processes delays projects. Promotions and raises to favorites Huge salary discrepancies even at same level of experience and no measures to correct it. No thought has been applied to the latest Outsourcing strategies, very soon temps with little or no experience will be our bosses Lack of planning (in my team atleast)

Pros

Opens. A lot of doors, a huge bank with real mobility. Great especially if you are young. And very global, which is exciting.

Cons

Can feel uncompetitive towards other bulge brackets at times, especially vs JPM, service and ops is incredibly painful, almost feels like you have to leave and come back to get paid market rate if possible at all. Its also IB vs everything else makes the bank feel two tiered.
