Pros
Recognized brand in financial services with a huge list of clients around the globe. Knowledgeable and friendly employees (but a diminishing group) Good place for young people starting their careers to gain experience
Cons
Incompetent senior management that is unable to motivate the troops, set a strategy or to communicate it. Senior management has no appreciation for the people (tenure, experience, knowledge, performance reviews) and carries out frequent lay offs to meet the bottom line. Frequent organization changes that do nothing to improve execution or communication, and decrease productivity during re-org adjustment periods Short term focused company looking only at the next quarter, with no vision or strategy for the long term. Don't believe telecommuting as a perk, there is increasing focus on going into the office Healthcare benefits are worse every year.
