Pros

Good hours, a lot of old people who love paper

Cons

Highly bureaucratic; face time is valued more than technical skillset or subject matter expertise. Limited career advancement; no raises in between promotions which might happen every 3-7 years. Managers are incompetent and have antiquated mindsets on best practices (i.e. they love physical filing and printing powerpoint presentations)

Pros

Decent people working in advisory.

Cons

Worst company in banking. Left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing. No motivation, no career advancement opportunities, unrealistic sales goals in attempt to lowball bonus, constantly laying off people and adding more responsibilities to remaining employees with no extra incentive.
