Pros

I guess already having worked there, the only pro I see is *just knowing* to what extent another human being (IB IT mgmt) will go to make you feel awful so the older guy can keep his job.

Cons

IB IT mgmt are sharks and they'll eat you alive (or at least it'll feel that way) if you don't know in detail the answer to whatever question they may have, to their liking. And they'll have tons of them.

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.
