Pros

Base salary can be low but bonus can be really good. The bank owns large systems and provides copious opportunities to learn and grow. The types of problems a big bank faces are numerous and always challenging.

Cons

Poor hiring practices. Deadlines are everywhere due to regulations. London calls all the shots. If you're not from London, growth potential is limited. US offices are shadowed greatly by the larger hub offices. Employees don't stay long.

Pros

Annual raises and variable bonuses, Hybrid schedule, kind people, lots of events for making connections

Cons

Difficult to get an interview unless you have a referral. Otherwise not really any cons, I’ve only been here for a year so can’t really speak yet to any hindrances that might come when trying to get promoted, etc.
