Pros

* Tons of opportunities for training and development * Great HR, a lot is invested in people here * Making a concerted effort to re-invent itself as the financial services industry changes * Great company culture * Huge organization and lots of opportunity for movement, both horizontally as well as vertically * Executive leadership is available and friendly

Cons

* Very easy for low value employees to just stick around forever * Tons of process/bureaucracy. It was a GE subsidiary so a lot has been inherited * Things happen, but they take time. Very consensus driven.

Pros

Strongly values diversity (Racial, Gender, Sexual, etc.), Great senior staff

Cons

Promotion more based on personal relationships than performance; roles decided largely before they are posted. You can feel isolated or lost if you don't have a strong advocate or social support.
