Pros

It's very laid back and for the most part stable...If your job isn't going to India or your job doesn't become redundant due to an acquisition.

Cons

Comp...Comp...Comp. Very hard to move up when your position is a dime a dozen. Also too much favoritism to management cronies.

Pros

The benifits are ok compared to other companies.

Cons

They are moving jobs to India as fast as they can. They do not wish to keep positions here in the states. Senior managment does not communicate. Decisions are never made timely. The keep putting them off and changing thier minds.

Pros

Global reach and vast array of technologies, allows you to experience a whole range of situations, takes employee variety seriously, most people are good to work with, excellent benefits, more traditional than others (this is a good thing, since it wasn't affected much by the downturn). Overall, a good & stable place to work - some areas within the bank actually did quite well even in bad times.

Cons

Technology within the bank is currently in a dreadful state, to the point that it's almost working against the employees. There are layers upon layers of segregated technology departments, and trying to get a lot of things done or anything out of the ordinary done can be incredibly difficult. It also means that almost no-one takes any ownership of the issues that come up because they're not directly affected. Financial rewards have taken a slight turn for the worse recently given the actual profit figures. Despite the talk, training could be a lot better, at the moment employees have to push for it to happen.
