Pros

* Nice, supportive colleges * Good comp * Good work/life balance * Hybrid workplace, NYC has a nice office

Cons

* Don't believe any hype, they generally care more about efficiency and cost cutting than innovation and creating modern digital platforms to support their clients and business * Incredibly bureaucratic processes for just about anything * Contantly re-organizing and continual turover in the executive committee.

Pros

There is real opportunity for career and skill growth. The company runs short on head count, so people willing to take on more responsibilities have avenues to progress. However, you will need to force the issue for promotions & large salary increases after you prove your capabilities. Realistically it'll take an external counteroffer to move the needle.

Cons

It's a large bank and you're a number in the system. If your NPV is positive you'll stay, else you'll be laid off. This includes both scenarios you control and those you don't. Ex. You control your performance, in office time and networking You don't control if your location is a strategic growth site, if a major client goes with a competitor, or if you'd be impacted by a general company-wide layoff plan.
