Pros

The people (co-workers) are great.

Cons

No Work life balance. Security Manager has a GOD complex. Tell you one thing in interview process and as soon as you start working everything changes.

A great place to learn and do fulfilling work

Pros

I have been here for 4+ years. FRB is "not just another bank" - it is a very successful, greatly respected full service financial firm that has retained many positive qualities of a start-up or a family business. 1. Our attention to customers and clients is off the chart 2. Very, very flat organization - I can approach anyone with an idea or a contribution 3. Cafe - from Wolfgang Puck 4. Pay for performance 5. You get your birthday off (I don't know of any other finance firm that offers something like that) 6. I get to work every day with very smart, very committed, very focused people

Cons

1. The pain associated with growth - we have grown explosively since we became independent in 2010 2. Management can trend too conservative sometimes, but I see it improving - they are becoming more open minded and aware what they need to do to be a competitive employer

The analytics team is sub-par and headed by amateur managers

Pros

-The bank does pretty well via personal management of big clients, of which is not many, and hence has a good deposit flow. Hence the salary of the data analysts grows slowly but surely. They are sure to get a bone , but not significantly more than that.

Cons

-There is absolutely nothing creative to do for a person with technical background. The one major task for analytics is abundant reporting with Goldman-sucks urgency ("I need it yesterday") coming from the ex-GS people who infiltrated the top. -It is drop till you dead type of work with non-experienced management who has no understanding or desire for their employees to grow. Hence, no way for growth. - Culture is long gone. "Respect the team" turns into a joke as the managers just approach you and ask for something without even saying your name. No upward feedback whatsoever. -Most of the technical improvement efforts end up in bureaucracy. -Brighter people just loose their skills and motivation. This is turning into a toxic dump...
