Pros

Good brand name for someone looking to build a resume. The program is similar to others at other large investment banks. Training was very good and amid the most comprehensive on the street. I like the people I work with but that's one very small sample of the company.

Cons

LARGE, downsizing is ongoing so morale is not great. I am not really affected by the "largeness" since I am pretty much lowest on the totem pole and don't have to make requests to higher management, etc. but I can see my superiors are frustrated. It sometimes takes a long time for things to get done.

Like any job, the manager is the one that can make or break the position

Pros

Great collaboration between work groups. There used to be room for advancement and diversity in the workplace.

Cons

Lack of job security for several years culminating in a layoff after nearly 3 decades with the firm. Like many places, benefits, raises, and advancement opportunities diminished over time as the firm decided to offshore roles.
