Pros

Internal mobility is encouraged to continue growing. So many opportunities for growth and development. It’s amazing to work with colleagues all over the globe. Lots of time off for upper level officers. Tuition reimbursement is not limited to your job area or line of work. The new culture initiatives are helping reduce meetings and emails. Love ability to be hybrid, great energy in office, although it can be loud and distracting so one less day in office would be even better.

Cons

Work life balance is good for some, but not all. Some managers are great at showing they care about your wellbeing. Definitely a sense of human-centered management here, but of course as with any company, that depends on your specific team dynamic. Some positions are overworked. There is lots of communication and transparency, however, because it’s such a large company, it takes forever to find internal info when you need it. Also some of the software they use is outdated and/or cumbersome.

Pros

Great benefits, nice campus, on-site cafeteria with many options, on-site gym (fee is approx $15/mo). Nice/newly renovated buildings, with nice amenitites (break room, jump in/out offices for privacy). In general, work-life balance was good, especially being able to work remotely (additionally) as needed.

Cons

They tend to do re-orgs fairly often (every 1.5 years or so), so it can be hard to get promoted within your current role, you should plan on applying for other roles within the firm, at the level you are looking to be promoted to. Must work in office at least 3 days/week starting in 2026, used to be 2 days a week from 2021-2025. Which means parking will be crowded if you don't get there by 9am. Work stations are not reserved, so if you don't get there early enough and if you don't have a co-worker saving you a spot, you might not find a seat in your work area very easily.

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.
