Pros

There are some really smart people and nice people, especially those who have moved over from Lehman with advancement opportunities depending on what group you're in to move ahead.

Cons

It was too bureaucratic with little transparency into the situation and the company seemed quite cheap compared to competitors

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
