Pros

If you negotiate a good bonus pay is ok Some areas are better than others. Bank has some good business lines, but there are a lot of silos and its hard to know what is going on in various areas.

Cons

Strategy has changed a number of times which makes it hard to build a sustainable business Calculations of returns of individual businesses don't make much sense Bank isn't built to be competitive in trading of most assets
