Pros

If you are persistent and focus on career progression it pays in the long run. I found that you move up the (career) ladder relatively quickly, if you compromise at the very beginning (i.e. in terms of jobs/roles/salary) and keep pursuing your goals. Change your roles frequently, until you find your sweet spot!

Cons

The firm is frequently perceived to have the behavior of a dinosaur i.e. very slow in adjusting to new rules of the industry and delivering on strategy. Senior management (US) seems to lack the required vision to deliver shareholder value. We all know what happened to the dinosaurs...

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
