      Pros

      As professional service mid-sized firms go it's not a bad place to work. You get more out of it if you are in the core competency - a banker. If you directly report to nice people then it is tolerable.

      Cons

      Not much in the way of professional growth or development or opportunities for promotion unless you are a banker. Low pay for non-banker personnel. As with most firms, senior management hasn't a clue as to what is going in their own firm. If temping, they take a long time to bring you on board...it does depend on department. Some have more clout with senior management than others.
