Lack of Vision and Direction in Senior Leadership - Investment Banking Analyst Nomura Employee Review

Senior bankers are mostly bankers who were fired from other banks and have bounced from bank to bank in their careers. Lack of alignment on strategic vision between U.S. and Japanese leadership leads to constant realignment of strategy and nothing sticks. Put all together, there's an inconsistent flow of deals and it generally seems like a place where people live to collect their salaries and bonuses.
