Business Outlook

Pros

High value placed on educating and training employees means you can learn a lot. The firm is well respected and has pull within the industry. Great retirement benefits program.

Cons

Middle level employees (EVPs and SVPS) bloat the ranks at a company that takes pride in being an efficient organization. This creates little room for advancement, only enhanced by strict policies around employees having MBAs. Feedback system is broken, managers are often able to cherry pick those who will provide the best review rather than comprehensive 360 reviews of management.
