Pros

Stable paycheck. There really are no other pros. They are like every other corporation. They will tell you want you want to here but their actions are the complete opposite.

Cons

Horrible career advancement, no income growth, no flexibility, micro managing, steep hierarchy, bad technology, low emotional quotient, lack of ability to relate, conformists

Pros

The culture is the best of European and American business culture it seems. I feel as though the company works for me and am very happy to work for us as a result (that wasn't a typo). Management and support areas are lean, but still effective - it feels like a much smaller company in terms of the problem solving and empowered cogs that run an adroitly effective machine.

Cons

Client user interface is outdated versus competitors, but not for long. The fixed income desk is not as skilled analytically as the group at Morgan Stanley where I was for nearly ten years prior.
