It's a good place to work.

Pros

It's doing reasonably well currently in this recession. There's a lot of resources for learning and growing a career, pay is good.

Cons

Long hours and heavy workloads. Not really work/life balance friendly but then again, not substantially worse than other companies in this field.

Pros

There is a reasonable work life balance here. If you enjoy a very well-defined job where you can follow a precise set of steps in order to complete the required work as an analyst then that can be considered a plus

Cons

Underappreciated work and poor morale affected the quality of work. Innovators beware, this is not a place that values innovative ideas. You are measured against a very precise set of metrics, this can be good for some, and bad for others. Management attempts to create competition amongst employees in order improve efficiency, in the end, this creates more animosity and less efficiency.

Pros

Good opportunity to learn a lot about various asset classes, but only if you are a self-starter. If you like stability and don't mind the cubicle lifestyle, this may be a good place for you. You can phone it in here and probably get by. Pay is average, with less upside than the street but more job security.

Cons

Don't work here if you want to climb the ladder quickly - lifers are everywhere. Underperformers are not weeded out until there's a fire, and then both good and bad are let go. It's not like MS or Goldman where it's "up or out" -- here, you will have a nice office with decent pay and benefits, but promotions take forever because there is so little turnover at the management ranks.
