Pros

A good enviornment to work at as first foray into Wall Street enviornment. Good opportunity to be surrounded by very smart, professional people with an organization that has many career choices.

Cons

Somewhat elitist enviornment, thoigh that is easily overcome by hard work and dedication to the organization. Also, sometimed difficult to navigate some divsions based on recent mergers and/or acquistion type transactions.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
