Pros

Relaxed work environment; decent pay; experienced and approachable co-workers; leading firm in its industry; office is in a nice section of jersey city (easy commute back and forth from the city)

Cons

Disjointed management (one man seems to make all the decisions); everyone feels they are on the chopping block; office politics are pretty significant; unorganized training (tough for trainees)

Pros

The work ethic is relaxed -- people generally stick to 40-45 hours a week, and there's not much pressure to work longer hours. The pay is good, given that it's a financial company; however the pay greatly depends on the team.

Cons

Very disjointed organizationally, for such a relatively small company. There is a culture of mistrust of other groups because at the end of the day there is one joint bonus pool.

Pros

Close teams, positive environment. Upward mobility to a decent level and title mobility available.

Cons

Small groups, could be slightly better incentivised, upper level appointments become more scarce.
