Pros

It was a steady paycheck, until the lay-off.

Cons

They have yearly internal surveys where they are always told that the salary, benefits, and computer equipment is below par. They only address things that are free, like "communication" by forcing everyone to attend a conference call where a VP babbles about how we need to make more money. They regularly have small to mid-sized layoffs that rarely make the news. These aren't about streamlining, but more about cutting out experienced employees and rehiring recent college grads for a fraction of the cost. Funny how management never is laid off though, just moved around to be ineffectual in a new department.

Pros

-Richard Davis is a reasonable man who represents the bank very well- whether or not he is genuine is up to your own personal interpretation. On the whole he comes across as agreeable.

Cons

-There is absolutely no say in how things are done if you are junior- you are just expected to "do your job". -There are no promotions. Period. -Benefits package is horrible. Minimal health, dental, vision and the insurance companies are all MN based, which causes difficulties finding doctors who will take your insurance in some regions. -The company is taking a cutthroat, top-tier investment bank approach to doing business in spite of the fact that it's just not that type of business. The company wants it both ways- become involved in the top deals (or else) but at the same time don't take on any "unnecessary risks". Of course, unnecessary really means "any risk at all". -Most of the bosses (in the NY office anyway) take a "work is life" approach. Staying at the office past 9-10 PM is not uncommon under certain bosses. -"Face time" is absolutely essential for survival. -Credit officers are not always forward thinking. At times some officers can be stuck in a 70's or 80's style train of thought. -Minimal support for returning to school to earn MBA/CFA.

Pros

This company USED to be great! We had a great leadership style and open, collaborative work experience. Additionally, work life balance was ok. Everything shuts down at 5pm ET, which is nice.

Cons

Where to begin! Multiple layoffs within 2 years. It's clear the company WANTS people to leave, thereby making things challenging, like getting new tech, or forcing employees to work in offices with water damage and no trash pickup. Another example is hiring managers with no experience as to what the ICs actually do. Leadership has 14 (!) vague goals and it's not clear how what we do helps get to those goals. It's also unclear what leadership does to get to those goals. And those goals keep changing.
