The Cons outnumber the Pros, but the Pros outweigh the Cons. Barely. Difficult in NY. Better in other centers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Emerging markets focus is compelling and lucrative. Fiscally healthy. Weathered the recession quite well. Compensation can be very good depending on the position. Benefits package is excellent: $60/mo. employer contribution for transit, FSA, Comprehensive Medical/Dental, with domestic partner coverage, generous paid leave, 3 volunteer days/year, paid training, 4% 401(k) employer match, pension.

Cons

Lost opportunity to capitalize on weakness of bigger banks during downturn. Limited growth potential in NY... advancement usually requires relocation to target markets (Asia, Africa, Middle East). Terrible trading/risk management systems. Strategy from senior management is muddled. IT investment is well below the market standard.
