Pros

Good global brand and nice friendly people within a global environment. Hygene factors all good as well as the atmosphere

Cons

Cog in a big, big wheel with lots of employees so very bureaucratic and can therefore be quite hard to be recognised as you are only responsible for part of the process rather than the whole thing so not always able to see outcomes

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.
