Pros

Work life-balance is valued, people are more down to earth and it is less cliquey that other Banks. Seems to be quite a bit of opportunity to move around between business lines.

Cons

Company is currently undergoing a lot of change, which brings uncertainty. Expense control is always a top priority which results in pretty lean amenities and "corporate comforts". Previously generous benefits were brought down to slightly below market.

Pros

A couple of smart people who are kind and open to mentoring. Hours not bad given no deal flow in US.

Cons

Top heavy management. Culture values heavy politicking. Low bonuses.
