Pros

-Tempe operation top notch, great vibe and the two senior mangers running it are genuine & competent. If you take a job here, get based there! -Focused group of banking professionals, they stick with what they know best and avoid risky adventures. -Exciting global opportunities for the right candidates -New IT culture taking root--incompetent Snr. Managers are gone for the most part and the organization is being consolidated and revamped.

Cons

-Executive level seems to not get along well. Plenty of games, don't get to close to the sun. -Going global--while also positive, company is learning its lessons

Pros

Smart, dedicated employees who are really committed to offering cutting edge banking services to clients. Accountability is an important value.

Cons

The things that work well, they constantly tinker with--many times to their detriment. Management doesn't really listen to those who don't fully drink the Kool-Aid.
