      Pros

      Challenging work environment that requires you to frequently operate outside of your comfort zone and allows you to reflect on personal strengths and weaknesses in a manner unlike any other organization. BW is full of brilliant individuals that have a wide array of backgrounds.

      Cons

      Several - stressful work environment, inordinate amount of time spent on mundane tasks such as monthly reflection papers, narrow minded upper management, and a lot of "covering your a%#"

      Pros

      Smart people, pay, benefits. The company remains one of the most successful and well respected financial institutions. Great non-NY location (for Connecticut residents).

      Cons

      Bureaucracy at all levels. Hard to get work done. Culture is not for everyone and can weigh people down. No flex work arrangements. Tech is old and outdated.

      Pros

      - radical transparency - very close relationships - learn an incredible amount about your strengths and weaknesses

      Cons

      Not good if you need lots of positive reinforcement. Some managers are very good about this, but others are not
