Pros

Large international organization with great opportunities to learn a lot and be able to move around. You work hard and you can grow professionally and take on new responsibilities. Great internal development and education opportunities which one should not let pass by.

Cons

Complex organization, in recent years lacks leadership and credibility vis-à-vis employees. If you are an FA or Banker you probably are doing great. But if you are in Corporate Center or Home Office you are rather viewed as a "2nd class citizen" and you feel this in every way. Overall the morale of employees could be better. Many great and experienced professionals left the organization or were let go. Company has a know-how drain in certain areas which is a concern.
