Pros

Talented colleagues, interesting work in select pockets of the finance organization, coffee chat culture, ability to move within various lines of business to learn

Cons

Poor pay - salaries are lower than competition. Work/life balance used to supplement lower salary but this has dramatically shifted for the worse. Long hours and tight deadlines amidst poor pay have contributed to poor employee morale.
