Pros

Smart and talented staff, although the more recent hires are a cut below

Cons

Even for Wall Street mgmt seems to have little regard for it's top performers Flavor of the day politics are more important than profitability Very short term focus If you are one of Rich and Brian's guys then you can do anything, if not then it depends on day to day how you stand Super aggressive retention stock policy

Pros

Supportive firm-wide culture; competitive pay; surrounded by some of the smartest people you'll ever meet.

Like most banking jobs, incredibly long hours. Group specific: culture can be poor / not well supported, poor organization / staffing at group level.
