Can be diificult to be expected to be independent and yet accountable. 110‰ is the minimum expected effort, can be frustrating. Work life balance can be tough. Bare employee space, can be on top of your neighbor's desk.

Pros

Money, but not as lucrative as BGI. With the acquisition, came a brain drain, so the NY bankers weren't equipped to deal with the market changes.

Cons

Everything else, such as a lack of leadership, transparency, interest in the local office, and the brain drain.
