Pros

As a company (1) Overall excellent company and excellent brand recognition (2) Excellent top level leadership, who clearly have demonstrated what they are doing time and again (3) Solid leadership pipeline (4) Effectively able to leverage scale economies, superior cross-selling opportunity means continued future growth and fortress balance sheet For people (5) Pretty good benefits (still, after years of cutbacks) and flexibility (6) Excellent learning opportunity (7) Sheer scale provides mobility opportunity especially globally

Cons

(1) Scale means VERY bureaucratic. Critical decisions is built by consensus by the chain, across the chain which leads to inefficiencies (2) Insufficiency leads up cost pressures which leads up to "nickel & dime" decision as well as staff reductions to maintain margin $ (3) Increased load on some employees (4) Generally not innovative. Most employees are "clockers" - come in, move some papers, leave. (5) Certainly the next Apple

Pros

compensation are average compared to other financial institution. Good trainings available, but due to the busy schedules often end up missing them. Work-Life balance goes for a toss.

Cons

all top official get changed now and then and new persons coming in get their own colleagues to fill in their direct positions, so promotions depend on your contacts and at your managers discretion.
