Pros

The company is on the rise to become one of the most exclusive places to work on wall st. The company is in the midst of implementating alot of diversity and employee related initiatives to promote growth, therefore, one would have the opportunity to be on the cusp of everything.

Cons

The location and condition of the HQ One Wall St. The mentality of the senior people in place, within each of the business lines are a bit on the cast system side. Not enough internal netwokring or personal development , ex seminars with career coaches, roundtables with senior management.

Pros

Job only as good as immediate manager. Salary is Ok ish Benefit options are ok not great.

Cons

1) Retaliation is a way of life at this company going back to 2018 and becoming worse since 2) Mid level managers are very efficient at passively insulting the Teams they are responsible for. 3) It is nearly impossible to advance in the company. 4) When you try to post to another department - your Mid level manager will do the best to stop you from advancing. Some have close friends in HR that will even have you submit a new application in an attempt to accuse the other department of recruiting you. I have experienced this. 5) The only way to increase pay and experience is by leaving the company. 6) It use to be a culture of lets help others when there is a problem, now it is lets find who to blame for upper mangers rushing a project before all risks are identified. 7) If you are taking a new Job - professionally push for higher Salary once you are in raises will be very small.
