Pros

* Had Great Mentors * Originally was a flexible place to work with understanding management * Room to grow if you withstand the high turnover * Good name to have on a resume

Cons

* High turnover is burning employees out * Ever increasing workloads with no end in sight due to turnover * Upper management is not replacing employees who leave, further exacerbating the above issues. It is unacceptable to have Analyst, Assistant Vice President, Vice President, and Senior Vice President positions sitting unfilled for 4+ months and expecting the teams under them to pick up all the slack with no additional compensation or understanding. * Company is moving BACKWARDS in regards to remote working policies. Upper management is pushing for MORE time in office. Be warned.

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.
