      Slow moving, lack of innovation, but strong in relationship building

      Pros

      Passionate workforce that truly cares about their clients. Employees have a real service mentality and will go the extra mile. Company has strong relationships in the VC/PE and start-up market, which is their primary competitive advantage.

      Cons

      Decisions are made very slowly - and usually need to go to the exec level. When decisions are made, they are incremental, not innovative. Individual success is measured by relationships, not impact. Their primary advantage (relationships) may get overtaken by more agile, innovative companies (like their clients!)

      Pros

      Fast-paced, entrepreneurial organization with a lot to figure out, but very open-minded leadership that reward initiative and creativity.

      Cons

      Some old-timers at the bank do not want to lose their jobs so at times it seems as if they are thwarting good, new ideas at the expense of their fear of being replaced (or just not wanting to put in the few extra hours of work).
