Pros

Market pay and benefits. Overall a decent stepping stone for students coming out of college. Good coworkers. Decent cafeteria if you forget to bring lunch.

Cons

Cross-functional collaboration is non-existent, very much in a silo. Not an ideal place for career growth, you will not expand outside of your silo. I've seen way too many good people go because of this. Good for senior level employees just trying to slide into retirement. Questionable fraternization between managing director and junior/intern level employees. Questionable immigration practices/manipulation of immigration law. Since this is a Japanese FI there is a mindset that the rules don't apply to them, strong sense of entitlement. FYI I've witnessed on multiple occasions employee's being directed to add fake reviews on here, don't believe everything you read.

Pros

No pros except distance from home to work is not far at all. Only reason for staying.

Cons

You have to be in the in-crowd to get promoted. Doesn't matter if you have done senior level work for years, even new employees barely worked with company for one year get's promoted doing same level of work or less. With new CISO in place, newly implemented rule is you have to work at level of position you want to promote to first before you are considered for the promotion. Anything you did in the past that have proven you were more than qualified doesn't count going forward. if you are in the in-crowd, such as going on annual trips to Vegas as a group etc you will get promoted. If you don't hang out outside of work, don't count on promotions.

Pros

Great benefits and work life balance.

Cons

Upper management is horrible. In the 10 years I was there we had three different CEOs and upper management changed three times as well. They hire their friends for positions they are not qualified for. And they keep laying off employees but hire senior leaders who don't know or can do any of the work. Very disorganized and hostile environment.
