Pros

Fantastic people. Team oriented workplace. People have strong sense of integrity and doing the right thing which is rare in banking.

Cons

Promotion can be expedient or highly political, which leads to very spotty leaders in some areas. In 10+ years, I had great managers and career killing managers. Pay is low, but understandable given the work life balance. This is a known quantity going in and should not be considered a negative. Promotion upward can be political or expedient, and not often merit based.

Pros

Interesting work helping clients grow their business. Promoted several times (it took a while). Most roles worked with many areas at the firm so it provided a holistic view of the organization, which was great.

Cons

Some managers created a difficult work environments. Those partners are no longer at the firm...but neither am I along with some talented people who left or were part of one of the a RIFs.
