      Pros

      Excellent Research and Investment Bank. Trading floors are full of very talented people.

      Cons

      The management at the Regional Level is weak. Full of empty suits who are looking for ways to protect their jobs rather than grow the business. They bring absolutely no value to the relationships that I have with my clients. I hear that they paid some recruit over $5 million to join us and he/she only produced around $400,000 in the first year. What a waste of money!!! As a shareholder I an angry. This is money that I could have used for marketing and sales support

      Pros

      Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

      Cons

      They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
