      Pros

      Well-established institution with a 200-year old history Opportunity to work overseas Good place to learn basic financial reporting and pricing skills

      Cons

      Not an intellectually stimulating environment; corporate culture is anti-intellectual, more oriented to sports (especially golf tournaments and the like) Quality of middle-management uneven at best Company doesn't retain the most talented people - they become bored and frustrated Company balks at paying overtime, despite the heavy work load Senior management too isolated from the rank and file

      Pros

      Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

      Cons

      No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

      Pros

      They offer resources for learning.

      Cons

      In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
