      Pros

      Definitely one of the most ambitious investment bank in the City, and aggressive in terms of market share focus, hiring and compensation.

      Cons

      Somewhat two-tiered treatment between Barcap and Lehman legacy employees.

      Good Organization, just a bit too big to be nimble

      Pros

      Great benefits and employee support in London Headquarters - staff canteen, building, gym, 6 weeks holiday, pension plan, and corporate responsibility

      Cons

      As per the headline, it's just too big and too retail-focused to be able to make changes quickly. Because of the size, there's also a lot of stakeholder management and politics -- meaning it takes a strong communicator and self-promoter to thrive.
