Pros

Turnover is high so you may be able to get your foot in the door. You may be able to get promoted given higher turnover assuming you do what you have to do and some.

Cons

New compensation plans are a lot lower these days even for higher ups. Your base can only go up like 10% or so when moving up a level which the company and all don’t advertise. Very toxic team managers who are stuck on zoom meetings all day everyday and cannot police the nasty toxic teammates who don’t have professionalism. New ai project Aurora going to eliminate more jobs given automation. Many higher ups are leaving as well which tells you there are much better opportunities elsewhere that pay a lot more.

Pros

Great benefits, nice campus, on-site cafeteria with many options, on-site gym (fee is approx $15/mo). Nice/newly renovated buildings, with nice amenitites (break room, jump in/out offices for privacy). In general, work-life balance was good, especially being able to work remotely (additionally) as needed.

Cons

They tend to do re-orgs fairly often (every 1.5 years or so), so it can be hard to get promoted within your current role, you should plan on applying for other roles within the firm, at the level you are looking to be promoted to. Must work in office at least 3 days/week starting in 2026, used to be 2 days a week from 2021-2025. Which means parking will be crowded if you don't get there by 9am. Work stations are not reserved, so if you don't get there early enough and if you don't have a co-worker saving you a spot, you might not find a seat in your work area very easily.

Pros

Opens. A lot of doors, a huge bank with real mobility. Great especially if you are young. And very global, which is exciting.

Cons

Can feel uncompetitive towards other bulge brackets at times, especially vs JPM, service and ops is incredibly painful, almost feels like you have to leave and come back to get paid market rate if possible at all. Its also IB vs everything else makes the bank feel two tiered.
