Pros

There are some good people in the firm.

Cons

Compensation substantially below market rate (for my role about 40% lower than average for my job level and function). Lagging benefits, with less PTO than competitors and no sick leave at all. The firm touts its lean structure but it’s ultimately a way to brand itself more positively than a sweatshop.

Pros

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

Cons

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