Pros

Good benefits Good opportunities for career growth early in your career but don’t stay more than 5 -10 years!

Changing organizational goals on a frequent basis Layoffs every quarter Forced performance rankings to a bell curve Layoffs of productive, older workers to reduce salary budgets

Horrible!

Pros

Nothing really, because their big positive was erased by a bigger negative. They were one of the first banks to open rehiring during the Great Recession of 2008-2009. However, they were the first to aggressively lay some great people off because they weren't bloodthirsty goblins like the people they keep in their semiannual reductions in force.

Cons

Recent reviews about stack ranking and bully managers are spot on. This is a horrible company run by a cast of characters that would be at home on Goodfellas or The Godfather. Terrible!

Pros

Really good people working with you who try their best despite deep burnout

Cons

Everything else. Pay is bad, benefits are below standard, long hours are expected. No matter which team you're in, you're underwater with no hope of pulling yourself out. Jobs continously migrating out of US to Poland/UK/India. Nobody is safe and the pay and work life balance is abysmal.
