Pros

High quality people work at Northern Trust. It's a very civilized place to be; people are very well-mannered and well-meaning.

Cons

Very conservative; sometimes there's a lack of urgency. If you don't work in the bank's core competencies and are one of the support groups, you will feel neglected.
