Pros

They are doing a fairly good job of integrating Lehman into their culture. The transition has been long and ardous, but they are ultimately making strides to becoming one of the best banks on the street.

Cons

Little recognition for middle management. Not as agile as Lehman, and people don't seem to have the same desire to effect change.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
