Pros

- Good people - Interesting work in tech

Cons

- End of the day its commercial banking, which is monotonous and highly regulated - Long hours for associates, and salary doesn't reflect hard work - Too top-heavy. Will likely run into roadblocks for advancement in upcoming years - Culture has become more corporate over the years and expenses have tightened, making for a less fun work environment.

Pros

If you work for their corporate office they have great perks like an onsite cafe, full gym and a message therapist that comes once a week.

Cons

Middle management could use a major overhaul. The company goes through reorgs way too often which creates a lot of uneasiness within the organization.
