Pros

The name is the only good thing there. Oh and they are so slow you end up having a “work life balance”

Cons

1) Managers will penalize you with a bad review l, no examples, and they do this to reduce your 6 digit bonus to 0 when you take standard parental leave and will say that it was the “leadership above” who made that decision. 2) MDs consistently underpaid people. 3) MDs will verbally abuse their power and bull their way, even when they are wrong. 4) Their power is large so they hire 3rd parties for everything and hence any issues you have 3rd parties will side with their customer. Aka the firm. 5) They move roles to cities where they can become a top employer because of the name. 6) They treat you like a child and count your work in office days and hours. It’s a prison cell. 7) They have modern open rooms with snacks but you have to pay for them so it’s all a show for the picture. And the prices are super expensive $3.50 for yogurt

Pros

Good work and life balance. People are typically friendly.

Cons

RTO was reinstated with bad communication (we found out through the news) and you will be forced to commute even if your team is not co-located with you. Coworkers of mine who were hired as remote were made to in-office, forcing them to move their entire family. You will still have to pay for parking / food at their cafeterias. Compensation will be lesser than if you joined a tech-firm doing the same work. Advancing your career will require you to 'jump ship' in-between different financial companies. It is very hard to advance normally. AI adoption is a must (which makes sense for MY job) but it's to the point where our annual performance is based on how much AI we use.
