Pros

Satisfactory Reputation on the Street Adequate work/life balance relative to other large investment banks Bonus are above average as well as base salary.

Cons

Very toxic culture and work environment. Antiquated systems and limited investment in junior employees. Refusal to investment in real professional development. As a major investment bank that is trying to compete with other firms in terms of recruiting top talent, HR thanked our summer interns with a going away lunch of cold cuts. It was almost embarrassing to say I worked here. No real commitment to fostering an environment of collaboration or team work. Inadequate training for employees.

Pros

Riverside around WTC is pretty nice

Cons

OMG the worst company I've ever been. There are a lot of small groups inside the department, and most of them are mean and rude.
