      Pros

      smart people, global firm with chance to work across geographies, interesting business lines. well regarded in industry/externally. solid benefits for staff.

      Cons

      firm is now too large, especially in some parts; middle managers are now concerned about creating & maintaining fiefdoms rather than pursuing profitable growth. employee growth is limited by narrow hiring practices, especially etfs.

      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.
