Pros

The company is growing, so there is potentially opportunities for employees

Cons

There was organis growth, until recently where all the management gets brought in from outside leaving little opportunity for promotion for existing employees. Some even got demoted in comparison. For example in the old days, VP is a relatively rare and most would be team leaders. However due to the difference between the rank in Barcap and US banks, people being brought in from other banks are being hired at VP level when they should be AVP judging by thier experience.
