Pros

Global financial services company offers exposure to many different businesses.

Cons

-Bills itself as a technology company but actually powered by a hamster on a wheel. -Little to no opportunity for advancement unless people above you quit. -Cost of benefits have steadily increased while options have decreased. -Terrible performance management process. Executives publicly say that there is no forced distribution but all people managers are forced to re-evaluate staff to bump their performance rating down to meet the expected ratings distribution.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
