Cons

-Some areas of finance work very long hours -Job satisfaction isn't all that great, nor rewarding at times -Lehman/Barcap integration - still feels like two different firms in a forced marriage; culture clash -Lack of teamwork and sense of one firm; seems like everyone for themselves

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.
