Pros

Telecommuting. They also took me to Austin. That's it.

Cons

Disorganization, frequent layoffs, pretentious attitude, culture of complacency makes it difficult to incentivize people to improve, tolerance and acceptance of mediocrity and intolerance toward those who want to bring about positive change.

Pros

Soup to nuts, will get hired in two weeks if you pass the interview.

Cons

Managers have little regard for analysts and will use them as scapegoats when things go wrong People will smile to your face and then stab you in the back during performance reviews Unreasonable timeline expectations on getting things done Politics, politics, politics Investment banking hours, with commercial banking pay Company "values" are a joke and are just used to tear people down during reviews

Pros

- Solid work/life balance - Smart and generally friendly colleagues - Competitive (but not exceptional) compensation for area and role - Diversity and Inclusion initiatives remained even when other major companies (looking at you, Target) started to drop them

Cons

- Horrible performance management culture forces you to constantly think about performance reviews for 5-6 months out of the year - One strike policy for a negative performance review combined with twice-annual reviews and competitive stack ranking process ensures you're never secure in your role - Constant reorgs can be hard to keep up with - Shifting priorities make it hard to have ownership over work or to have a say in your projects (but this could have just been my org)
