Pros

Great pay, depending on what desk you land on everyone is willing to help, get to go out with clients to nice places in Manhattan

Cons

Promised rotational program but ended up placed on a desk which worked out for me but might not workout for everyone, need to share more accounts with the younger brokers

Pros

-you might make some great friends in other departments since they are not direct competition -the lunches can be amazing and client dinners are often at top restaurants -the pay is competitive. and you CAN do VERY well with a strong inside connection that makes sure you get paid/ exposure to good clients, if you are highly manipulative, or have seriously elite skills  -I hear severance is ok if things don't work out.  it is not the best but at least they give something. -vacation policy is great for USA but don't take too much or you'll get scrutinized -opportunity to network with clients at big banks to get a job there -no nights/weekends. late nights only exist if you entertain clients out of the office. -it can be an entry point into finance if you don't have a business, finance, econ degree, or any degree. just come ready to play.

Cons

-Overall, the firm is decentralized/disjointed. this is good at times but creates many other problems. -I would be better off with Target on my resume than ICAP which is little-known or even looked down upon by banks -many people struggle to find other decent finance jobs after ICAP -internal mobility rarely happens and promotions are infrequent -the broker training program lacks substance -good brokers become top brokers who might become desk heads who might become management. good brokers don't necessarily make sufficient managers/leaders. leadership is lacking. -task variety can get old. it becomes a boring factory job which is easier to swallow if you are a top producer. -it is still a "boys club" where insiders take care of each other well
