Pros

Premier investment company. You will get some good experience although the approach is much more segmented. This allows management to plug and play people instead of developing a more broad knowledged individual. This is also why people leave the firm- lack of training and a dead end job.

Cons

The company has changed alot over the years- you feel like a number. They don't value effort any more- it's about dollars and sense even if that means putting people in seats that don't know what they are doing to save 20k a head. Sad but that is what the firm has come to. Poor leadership from the top- manage by fear not by what you can accomplish.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
