      Pros

      Great place to connect with smart people. Fun social event. Management gets paid well...really well. Bonus are amazing...

      Cons

      When you bank the most innovative companies and you are not innovative in all areas of the business that's a problem. When there is no accountability in your upper management team that's a problem. When current technology is what you find in your competition and the clients that you serve, that's a problem.

      Pros

      Great exposure to smart people and ideas at VCs and the companies that back them.

      Cons

      People change jobs. Its normal and healthy. But you hardly ever hear a person leave JPMorgan, or First Republic, Morgan Stanley, KPMG, Cooley etc and vow how horrible their experience was leaving their old firm. To the point that they want them to fail, as some form of justice for their ethics, obfuscation and flat-out dishonesty. People who leave SVB...ALL of them feel this way. Almost literally everyone.

      Pros

      Nice central London location. Good place to start a career ( but move on) Some of the people are genuine

      Cons

      Have to be in a clique in order to progress even if your capable and do the job well- however being inside the clique means you can internet shop all day. The new office regularly has major issues. The management enforce the values yet don't live by them nor can they actually explain what they mean in anything other than politician speak. No real processes, training or instruction unless "step 1- find problem" "step 2- solve problem" helps in any way.
