      Pros

      +pay +hours are mostly controllable outside the core investment groups +lots of people who were wildly successful in their former lives wandering the halls so there is interesting stuff to learn

      Cons

      -you'll have to watch hours of videos per week training you on a culture that seems like largely common sense -you may get a good one, but most managers will isolate, torment, and eventually fire you if you try to act in accordance with the "culture" by criticizing your boss -senior management lies about basic business facts that are widely known and you have to deal with the gaslighting effect of all your peers ignoring that

      A fascinating study in introspection but a silly place to work if you have aspirations

      Pros

      A place where you can truly think about how you think with some of the smartest people you will ever meet. A place to learn about yourself and the best and worst of people. A place to practice the art of BS at a level rarely seen in a free market based business. A place where you can be praised and rewarded for total failure - as long as you thought about it correctly.

      Cons

      A place where Technology is so old and insecure I would not run it within my own home. A place where doing a thing correctly is of no value what so ever. A place where your professional value declines every quarter you are there

      Pros

      Benefits free healthcare insurance lunch and dinner

      Cons

      All lies. The preach that it's not political but it's very political and the management uses principles to turn on people and push people out. No job security, bunch of brainwashed lemmings, snaky co-workers, big brother watching environment, micro managed at all level. Not worth the slightly higher than market pay. Limited growth opportunity. They hide sexual harassment and offsite frat behaviors. Company is no longer the great that is was and doesn't hold the value it did on the street.
