Pros

Some good managers. Short hours and high WFH flexibility

Cons

Extremely archaic process with no significant training given. Near complete lack of access to the resources and support available to auditors at other firms. Management and leadership much more concerned with semantics and appearances than audit testing and business control quality. No upwards or lateral mobility whatsoever. Most employees want out and end up having to go to second-rate audit departments at other firms and or take significant demotion to leave.

Pros

I got an offer for M&A as a lateral from another bank. When I came into the office, I was introduced to my "manager" who I did not meet during the recruitment process. As it turns out, this "manager" was in charge of swaps booking. HOW IS THIS M&A????

Cons

I am going to quit. Minus six months of my life wasted at this con-job of a firm. No bonus. No exit. What will I do?

Pros

-Great people to work with and people genuinely want to help each other out. -Emphasis on work-life balance -If you're willing to give 110% to the firm, senior management will in-turn invest in you and your career.

Cons

-Constant cost cutting -Dealing with headquarters that is located overseas (Switzerland) -Too much emphasis on front office and not enough investment in back-office/support functions. -The new 2016 health plans are terrible, especially the elimination of co-pays. Employees now have to first meet huge deductibles before the plan pays for anything (even prescriptions).
