Pros
In hindsight, I can't think of any pros of working at Northern Trust. It's very much a top-down organization run by middle-aged white men, and those who want to be middle-aged white men. While they brag about their diversity, they always trot out the same 2 or three senior employees from under-represented populations and say, "See? We're diverse!" But if you don't think and act and speak like a middle-aged white man, you'll never be on the inside. And these same white men don't like anyone over the age of 50, either. Unless it's another white male.
Cons
At Northern Trust, everyone is out for whatever they can get. They'll malign you behind your back. They'll lie to you, undermine your efforts, and make sure every day to torture you. Unless you're 30, pretty, and wealthy. Or a legacy. Or are in a position of power. But even those persons are at risk. Since "culture," whatever that is, trickles downhill, that could be the reason why everyone in wealth management is treated so poorly. What you have left are a bunch of angry, no talent defensive slackers who are hanging on until retirement.
