Pros

Global Diversity. Opportunities to move horizontally and veritically.

Cons

Beaucracy and red tape. This company spends more time talking than doing: more meetings than decision. This company wastes more time restructuring and reorganizing than any other company I've been at. Salaries are well below market. Powerpoint skills are valued more than core technical aptitude. There are way too many levels of management - top heavy.

Pros

If you have the right manager, very flexible with days off, changing of hours especially when it's a family matter.

Cons

Their compensation is low as compared to many of their competitors. Many people have left or taken a Voluntary Severance Package.

Pros

There are a few good people scattered around. Hard to find but they are there.

Cons

Outdated management and systems. Some of these managers are older than Paine Webber. Managing Directors that manage the day-2-day but have no 3/5/10 year plan. IT systems from the 1980's. Inaccurate processing on a daily basis.
