Pros

Small bank, benefits are something to wish for such as free wine tasting at client wineries and mortgage loans to employees, great teamwork.

Cons

If you looking for a stable job it's for you, no stock options though or startup excitement.

Pros

Relaxed & collegial atmosphere. People here are really genuinely nice. Company is improving training resources for new and existing employees.

Cons

Poor compensation for work done; most junior associates on good teams will work investment banking hours for half the pay. Promotions are handed out by a managerial committee so there's a significant chance that you'll be passed over for more senior employees unless you network really hard.
