Pros

- Small company, close interactions with other parts of the company - Friendly company culture, not long working hours - Opportunities for professional development - No job titles which allows to be closer to the managers

Cons

- No job title also mean disadvantage when moving elsewhere, compared to classical titles as AVP, VP at other investment banks - Work-life balance also means less bonus - Salary is 10-15% lower than at other investment banks

Pros

Entrepreneur mindset that allows you to grow outside your specific box, if you choose. Supportive leadership in helping you achieve your goals.

Cons

Have to pull for growth, not handed to you. You have to be aggressive and ask for what you need.
