Pros

Work/Life balance True hybrid work PTO/Vacation allowance. I had four weeks of vacation after making Sr. Associate

Cons

Politics and management will impact your career trajectory more than your work output. If you don't have a manager who has your back and vouches for you, promotions will be difficult to come by despite shattering expectations. Being internal doesn't matter when applying to roles within the company. Outsourcing critical positions has had a negative impact on the business overall despite saving money. There's no room for everyone due to the lack of real estate. The firm is stuck hot desking and reserving a seat doesn't matter as someone can take it. Maybe this changes when the new HQ on Park Avenue is finally finished.

Pros

1. One of the best banks, heavy on tech and AI, that makes my life simple 2. Bonus is consistent every year 3. The company is highly social and multicultural. 4. A lot of training program to upskill and develop.

Cons

1. A lot of administrative items to take care of, a significant portion is spent on meetings, meetings are called to establish an agenda for next meetings, and so on. 2. Layoffs, all year round- sometimes significant, while in the middle of delivery. If your manager is off-site/ another city/country, you are more likely to be impacted. 3. Departments may have skewed gender or racial ratios. It is best to stay away to avoid discrimination (to be fair, this has less to do with culture and more to do with who the head of the department is).
