Pros

By industry standards the salary and bonus was fairly competitive. I worked with some great people. Office location and quality good in the U.K. Management generally good in Europe.

Cons

Senior management, particularly in the US were self-centred with no genuine interest in the welfare of employees. Guess you should expect that in banking. Bonuses were quite random and often dependent on whether you were popular with senior management. If you were lucky enough to get a sizeable bonus there was effectively a five year lock-in. If you decided to leave after getting a bonus they could claw it back for up to 5 years on a gross basis. Not sure if that’s still the case
