Pros

Good financial services experience for a recent graduate: company offers a lot of formal training programs and very recognizable name on a resume. Good benefits. Good technology.

Cons

Very bureaucratic; senior management seems disconnected from junior staff. Low salaries for entry level positions. High volumes of work and limited growth opportunities for such a big company.

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.
