Pros

Some of the coworkers are great and you get to trauma bond

Cons

If you are looking to come here with the hopes of growing quickly, that is not happening, they won't let you. If you're here to rotate in the rotational program and learn from different teams, that will not happen, they won't let you. If there is a position you are fully qualified for, you will not get that position even if the team wants you. And if by some miracle it benefits whoever is in charge for you to get the position you applied for, you will not get the pay raise. They have caps on percent increase and the starting position salaries are way below market, so any increase you do get will still end up below the lower range of the official job posting. The turn over rate is really high even among senior members and managers. The higher-ups and some managers have no technical expertise and don't know what they are doing. You will end up knowing more than them and the senior members are too busy getting yelled at, so they won't have time to teach you anything. This is not a healthy or intelligent environment that fosters learning and growth. Furthermore there is abusive behavior including managers yelling at employees, demeaning people and their work without substance, throwing people under the bus, management being blatantly untruthful and saying contradictory things, managers publicly trash-talking employees, etc

Pros

Only pro here is that certain roles will let you operate above your title, e.g. exposure to sides of the job reserved for senior roles at other firms. 15 days PTO to start is actually not terrible either. Great coworkers depending on your team.

Cons

Too many to list here, but will try. Main issue here is the top-down culture of fear and internal politics, as the entire bank is at the whim of one person. Managers are exclusively concerned with looking good in front of the CEO, and even top SVPs are terrified to be honest with him. SVPs routinely complain about not being able to get comp raises for employees, while simultaneously being terrified to ask. Do not expect your manager to go to bat for you if it in any way involves being assertive. If you want to work for a borderline alt-right CEO who belittles employees openly, this is your spot. The only people that thrive here are those who have never worked elsewhere and do not know what a real company looks like. Looking forward to the HR denial response here too. Some other cons: - Zero WFH allowed - Below market compensation across all roles - Stock bonus vesting schedule that take 4 years to fully vest
